Good morning GH.  Well, this morning it is much later than my last blog.  It has just turned 8:00 AM here in our fair city and the view out the Weather Window is spectacular.  Blue skies, sunshine, and an expected high of about 70 degrees.  Currently on the desktop we have a temperature of 50 degrees.  Brisk and invigorating to me, but probably a bit chilly for the desert rats.  Sugar the Weather Dog is worn out from her activities yesterday, but I think she will like the day that is unfolding.  Barb and Ed and Debbie and John arrived safely yesterday, and Mary gave them an abbreviated tour of our "estate."  Barb likes it, but it should be noted that she noticed some rodent droppings in the furnace room.  Maybe when Adam and Steph come to visit in a couple of weeks, Adam can check for an entry point and seal it.  It could just be the normal winter activity too.  In that vein, I heard a gaggle of geese fly over this AM, so that is a sure sign that fall is on its way.  Ed and I watched the Bears stink up the field in Green Bay last evening.  I should know better than to give them any of my limited time here on this planet.  I won't make that mistake in the future.  We took time to walk the Boardwalk and introduce them to our favorite watering hole.  Mary and I had our usual and the others enjoyed their choices too.  Today, the womenfolk are going shopping and I don't know about myself and the menfolk.  I think I would like to do less, not more, but that is my usual, so I should think outside the box.  Yeah, I hate that phrase too, but it seems to fit here.   So, until something occurs to me, it is....Tea time.
