I, too, was thinking that there may not be a bridge walk in 2021 and that might be a good reason not to reserve the lodge. Now it is a moot point, but still. I would miss the State Street Bridge Walk (official or non-official) but on the other hand there is just so much to do around the house. I was hoping for a long fall in the mid-70s to get the yard beat back into shape but with the last two days too cool for me to be outside in shorts I am beginning to think that won't happen either. In the old days, back when my legs and back worked correctly, the Labor Day Weekend was when I would empty the compost bins of finished compost and distribute it around the plant beds. I have this horrible suspicion I haven't emptied the bins for the past three years. Not that they are overflowing (at least I don't think they are) but I would love to feed my rhubarb and the potted plants on the driveway.

I am hoping your poison ivy will clear up without more medical intervention. And I hope John will take the time to search for the basement phone's headset. I can't complain about him not keeping the handheld on the charger because I'm prone to getting the handset to answer a call and then putting it down wherever I am and forgetting to put it back on to charge. I "solved" this problem by letting both of the handsets in the living room die completely and only answering the kitchen phone when I'm standing in the kitchen. Sure doesn't help your situation in the basement.

Miss you!
