Our favorite produce place burned to the ground last night. Cornerstone you gave us good food and friendly service.

Staying dry despite the heavy rains. Last night my toes were getting wet because it was blowing in around the window but the roof is solid.

Holding each other up when life is changing.  I consoled three people this morning online.

The air is cool this morning and the humidity is gone.

Went to daughter’s for dinner last night.Perched on the couch as she has no chairs. Guess who had to do the dishes!

Getting out summer clothes and finding things you forgot you had

I feel as if the rains washed me clean. Still have challenges but I will face them refreshed.
