GET LOW

Last night we watched the movie Get Low with Robert Duvall and Bill Murray. Interesting concept- Duvall plays an old man with a secret past who decides to throw himself a funeral party while he's still alive and to make it interesting and to make sure people show up he sells tickets for a raffle on his house and property- Great idea don't you think?

end of summer

Well! next week a new semester begins. I can't believe that my 'summer' is over. It was hot, rainy, humid and just plain uncomfortable most of the time. Is spent alot of time daydreaming about Maui, the ocean, the breeze and the pool at the Marriott Maui-now that is the life.
However, I am excited about the fall- the weather will be cool, I am taking 2 classes, it will be a challenge but I hope it will pay off in the long run. so it will be a busy time no doubt. Can't wait to get back to a routine, also I'm going backt o 2x a week workout with my sister in law. Don't like what is happening to my body so I will try to stop it or at least delay it if at all possible- Will post on results as they occur.

Another rainy day - hot and humid

Work keeps us from three great evils: boredom...vice... and poverty!
There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times

Finally!

Wow! what a week it's been...the storm that came through Lake County last Monday was something else!! it lasted only 15 minutes but it did alot of damage. I was lucky in that my house was not damaged and only the tree in my front yard was touched- we lost a two branches, a major one and a smaller one. When the branches came down so did a robin's nest that had 3 tiny chicks- we tried to save them but no luck. We were without power for 58 hours- I don't wish to go through that again anytime soon!
We are lucky and thankful - damage was minimal.

Caged Birds

The young finch asked the old one why he wept:
"There's comfort in this cage where we are kept."
"You who were born here may well think that's so,
But i knew freedom once, and wept to know."
