Hi all! It’s 86f going up to 92f in Tallahassee. . We are preparing for Dorian whose path is coming in our direction around Labor Day. As many of you know I have been caring for my dad who turns 96 next month. This will be the fourth hurricane in fall in a row for us. The last two were the worst, of course. Dorian is now a category three. The gulf coast around Mexico Beach and inland was devastated last year.

I am weary of hurricanes. I have to keep dad cool and feed him, but he isn’t eating a lot anymore. ..... I started this thread eighteen years ago. We all have concerns about the weather, eh? All is well in my world, though. I play Bessie Smith’s BackwaterBlues on my Radio King parlour guitar and Little Gray Mockingbird by the late Dennis Dunne on autoharp.
Love, harpgirl.

PS I have been trying to arrange a lime jello match with Alison but she’s never on one continent long enough for us to meet up.
