Late night final. Have done nothing useful in the past 4 hours and will shortly head off to bed and slumberland. Still 73F outside, but turned the AC off as that is within my sleepage parameters.

**Van Go** , good luck on Mowage Monday, I need to wait a bit since grass bag pickup is on Monday and I don’t want to try cutting it Monday morning since I don’t know when they will show up, the grass is also growing well down here for the same reasons as yours. As for why we have grass lawns, just put that into Google, lots of excus…I mean, reasons for it…

😁 Thanks for ending my week with a grin.

**JtC** , 10 days travel should give you more than enough cushion to get out their. You could always take AMTRAK cross-country, but that actually could be more tiring than driving it. Nice scenery-watching, though. Hope the visit isn’t too nerve-wracking.

And that’s all I wrote. Catch all y’all tomorrow on the next MMP.

Oh, we crank that one up some nights, too.

Lotsa TLC and Missy Elliott tonight. It was “Mrs. Scribs” night, when it’s all women … and I pointed out that as we’re all single - and I’m the youngest - it was basically Cougar Night.

I love when this happens.

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave.

Hopefully nobody was chasing waterfalls.

Eh? We haven’t sealed the border! You’re still allowed to visit!

I’ve just booked a week in/on Lake Garda in June. Have felt myself pining for Italy, although I would normally go south. Also pondering an Andalucian trip in October - Granada, Seville, maybe Cordoba. Haven’t been for decades.
