S R W is now living in San Fran-
staying with Aunt Rita for a little while. SMW is in Belo Horizonte, Brazil taking 4 courses- 3 in Portuguese...hmm. She is expecting visitors from Michigan in Nov and Dec...
Last week was one of good tidings; which always makes me worry about what can be around the corner. god forbid we are comfortable and content for too long.
As my pal KF in SC likes to say " if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off"
Our darling little angel grand daughter ( now almost 30 mos old )was with us yesterday with her 'rents.
We had a very nice celebration & SAL says "happy birthday to you, grappa"
She also spoke to her great grandmother on the phone - GiGi-
she is getting a little confused- with 3 'grandma's' and 3 ' grandpa's

now back into a routine. Mondays are 'mine' again--
Tuesdays: appointments / docs/ salon/ etc.
Wednesdays: home maintenance
Gosh I have to thank Jan M again and again for her gift of a Dirt Devil Swiffer with which I can dust the new floors .......
with all of the Rocky fluff, daily dusting is unavoidable.

stay tuned for exciting news.....
enjoy your day
