Sad State of Affairs

It's a sad state of affairs when the excitement of the day is a power outage. Left us in the dark. It felt familiar. It was pretty impressive as outages go. There seemed to be surge and darkness, surge and darkness. Honey thought we were under siege and was on full alert/attack. Buster was already underfoot because of thunder. After calling the power company and learning it was general, we took a drive. As if by magic, the lights were on when we got home.

Had email from Harold and Julia. They will leave Moncton, New Brunswick for Florida on the 24th of November. They rented a spot at Sunshine Trailer Park- a park in transition from old mobile home park to an apartment complex. The owners are trying to generate revenue as they clean out the old residents. I will watch their experience with interest.

From email: Patsy and Joe are in St. Augustine, will be in Fort Myers Beach November 1, John Prince by American Thanksgiving. Canadian Thnksgiving is in early October.

The Soup of the Day and tomorrow, for sure, was Kielbasa, with fresh celery, carrots, onion, cabbage, potatoes with a dash of butter and a cup of half and half. After seining out onions and other lumps for them, the dogs were as enthusiastic as I. The broth apparently goes well with kibbles. I learned some things as this experiment took shape and it will be even better next time. Nice day if boring to read (and write ) about.
