I lucked out as she also enjoyed the My Little Pony card that included stickers.

Saturday evening greetings! We thought we were just going to do a quick drive-by of our future home, but ended up spending about half an hour there. We had to admire the new retaining wall on the left side of the driveway and the in-progress repaying of the driveway and front sidewalk. Then we peeked in the front windows and discovered the interior painting well underway.

As we started around to the back our neighbor pulled into her driveway and came over to visit. Her name is Norma and she’s 92. Once out back, we found the gate had been left open allowing access to the patio and back windows (more peeking).

There’s still a lot to be done, but we have movers tentatively scheduled for 6 weeks from Monday. That just happens to be Richard’s birthday.

That's pretty exciting, Ginny!

Your new place sounds exciting. We have moved a few times on or around Keith's birthday. At least this move doesn't require driving for a day or two to arrive at your new home.

I suppose I have been involved with road anger.

Jane · « **Reply #187 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:51:13 PM »

Fortunately I have not been involved in road rage.

There was the time driving from Massachusetts's to visit friends in New Jersey when I had a driver on my tail who eventually, crossed the double line and speed around me.

Jane · « **Reply #189 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:52:38 PM »

I guess he didn't appreciate my going the speed limit.

Shortly after the incident, to my surprise, a policeman pulled me over.

Jane · « **Reply #191 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:53:53 PM »

He wanted to know if I was ok as the driver, unbeknownst to me as I had my eyes on the road, had flipped me off.

Jane · « **Reply #192 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:54:10 PM »

Oh, the policeman said he gave the other driver a ticket.

Jane · « **Reply #193 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:55:00 PM »

While the policeman was very nice, I would have preferred to continue on my way without the interruption

Jane · « **Reply #194 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:56:25 PM »

That reminds me of the idiot that I kept from racing past me on the winding mountain road when it was too dangerous. I finally let him pass on a straight stretch.

Jane · « **Reply #195 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:56:49 PM »

Fortunately he didn't rage at me.

Jane · « **Reply #196 on:** September 30, 2023, 06:57:20 PM »

I was with a friend and we both yelled with joy when we passed him getting a ticket

I’m liking it so far. But I need to finish another book I’m halfway through, The Return of the Soldier.

I read that a long time ago and don't remember much about it.

PTSD with a happy ending.

I started Midnight Cowboy but I am not up for it tonight.

But let’s get off this page first.

Listening to a Marvelous Mrs. Maisel soundtrack. More my speed this evening.

Always ready for Blossom Dearie.
