Dorothy, we will keep our collective fingers crossed for you and the trip to that wedding! Maybe by then the orange one will have been impeached.

I debated about mowing this afternoon, and I still have some time before sunset, but may wait until tomorrow. I have a delivery from FedEx in the morning and if I'm out front mowing I won't miss them (or have to chase the dogs away from the front door to open it).

At the museum today during my tour another visitor stepped over to say hello in a "your dentist's nurse at the grocery store" moment. You know the face but need to place location. Until he spoke I was casting around for where I knew him from. He was the vet tech at my vet's office and have seen during most visits for the last 20 years. He said he retired last week and is moving back to Mexico, and was glad to say goodbye (and a hug). On Zeke's last trip there he met me at the car and helped take him in. Paul (probably Pablo to his family) is a US citizen but is going back to Yucatan where he's from, and with a pension and social security will live like a king. I know a number of people who have made that move once they retired. I think the three folks in my tour were charmed by the short exchange.

Next week is more relaxed, hopefully I'll get more cleared up in the house and not just yard work.
