My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Sunshine,
blue sky. Nice Fall day. Expecting high winds later today through Wed.
morning with maybe some snow. Broncos
had a big win over the Lions yesterday….Cards play tonight! My Tahiti
trip is a go…all paid for. Somehow, I never got the email to pay, but called
and paid today. xI called my brother about Christmas. The airport in Merida has
a testing site and my brother said not to worry…some friends just went
through it recently. What a relief. The Focus
group will be back from Egypt on Tuesday. With all the pictures, it was a
great adventure for all. |
