I’m good. Thanks for asking. It’s raining off and on. My Wi-Fi and electricity is bumping in and out. My middle daughter lives in New Orleans. They evac’ed up here over the weekend. Her, 2 small boys and 2 Chihuahuas. I was not in a place, healthwise, to be a good Nana and hostess. But my ever stoic and helpful DIL stepped right in and did it. They cooked and entertained kids and pets. Don’t worry guys, I’m alright. VOW, you’re sweet for remembering me:)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!! ---

_Where have you been, my darling young one? I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains Walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans I’ve been ten thousand miles in a mouth of a graveyard_ ---
