 I am love, love, lovin' the cooler, lighter, fresher weather today.  

Ahhh...  It is so lovely.

 Two & a half months & I've just discovered a disadvantage of living in a teeny tiny place.  There's no place to get away from the sound of a creepy movie.  Thank goodness for headphones!!!

 I might have figured out why that little piece of leftover caramel & chocolate candy bar tastes different.  Maybe onions had been stored in that Glad box in a former life.  Hmmm…

 I've been preparing to be ready to start thinking about changing…

Nice night. 

Dinner with dear friends.

Then our old tradition of ice cream snack before bed with my big brother...

I attended a nearby writers' group again last night - for my second time.

On my first visit I had heard about Lois, the 103-year-old poet who often attends - so I was thrilled when she showed up this time.  What a delightful person!  However she no longer writes poetry because she can't see - so she has switched to writing stories.  I love it!

 Word of the day:  tohubohu

[ toh-hoo-boh-hoo ] 

noun

chaos; disorder; confusion.

…

Oh, my; what a fun and funny word.

But not fun to have too much tohubohu.

...

Friend Diane comments: I love that word! Our pastor uses it in his sermons.

...

Me: really? I had never heard it before.
