Time to Get your Absentee Ballot for November
It’s that bewitching hour after lunch where I need to sit and digest while I write a blog post.

My Sunday Book Sale Surprise
Today was scheduled from beginning to end with a few hours free in mid-afternoon. I did my due diligence and walked the dogs early, since it was already a stinker at 9:00 a.m. The weather people had predicted a cooler day than yesterday, but yesterday’s dog walk had actually been enjoyable.
