Back from [Leah’s House](http://www.leahshousemd.org/). There were 5 trucks and our trailer, and only one truck was empty. We loaded up at one place, then unloaded in 2 locations at the shelter. Luckily, it wasn’t overly hot or sunny, but it was muggy, so as soon as we got home, it was shower time. I’m much refreshed now. \*\*swampy \*\*- ours is electric also. \*\*FCD \*\*saw a guy using on at the marina yesterday to wash the decks on his boat. He talked to the guy, did some research, and after we got dinner, we ran to Lowe’s and got the toy. It’s pretty nice - I think we did well in our purchase. And now I think I shall assume the knit position for a while. Hope I can stay awake!! ---

It only took about 1 1/2 hours to clean up the branches; I was fearing it would take longer. But we worked with my neighbor (one of the big branches fell across her fence) and got everything into containers so that it can be picked up with yard waste tomorrow. Filled four trash cans and two little recycling bins. Off to figure out what to have for dinner. GT ---

I will always know how long it’s been since I graduate from high school because Oldest Nephew was born two weeks later. Older Sister got married in the intervening week. The three weeks between May 22 and June 11, 1998 were very busy for the Three Weird Sisters. ---
