We're still in TN this week, and, by the time we leave, will have been up here for 3 weeks. When we arrived here, we needed 3 days to sort through our mail, which was piled 1-1/2 FEET high!! In addition to our own mail, Sue also takes care of all her mother's mail, and thirdly, has all the mail for her uncle in Ohio forwarded to this address. Couple that with our absence from here of over 4 weeks, and we had a "project" ahead of us.
Our boating news is that our boat is still floating right-side up. (From all the hurricanes we've been through, I've learned to ask not just "Is our boat still floating?", but to ask the RIGHT question of "Is our boat still floating right-side up?"). Also, we got word from the daughter of our nephew that the marina we stayed at in St Pete FL was hit by a waterspout, and had damage to some boats. Looking at the pictures, we figured that we had been tied about 200 feet away from the damaged boats.
Back in the mountains of Tennessee, our big event these past 2 weeks was placing Sue's mother in a dementia center for a 3-night trial period. The first facility here in town had no room in the inn, so our second choice facility was 45 minutes south of here. There has been quite a bit of emotional stress around here as the events unfolded. If the facility agrees to accept Sue's mother full time (i.e., can they deal with her special quirks and needs?), the plan is to place her into the facility full time when we return to TN in late October. If that happens, we'll spend most of this coming winter getting the house ready for sale.
