Tis almost the season. We are having a very unusual Thanksgiving this year. James and I will be driving down to my mother's FL home on Thanksgiving to help her with last minute packout. Moving truck is arriving monday after Thanksgiving to move her (!) up to St Marys. It was a hard decision, but she is finally moving out of the home she shared for so long with my father. Her sale there is taking longer than originally anticipated due to the dual hurricanes. Waterfront is always a good investment. It's just going to take a little longer. She took no damage, but the City of Punta Gorda was largely underwater. Parks damaged or washed away, buildings flooded. It will take time. Prayers are always appreciated. We ran around and replaced all the filters in her new home so everything is ready. My daughter is flying down from PA to help Mom with unpacking and so she is not having to sleep alone in her new house. I'm very much afraid the cooler weather is going to be a bit of a shock. One day at a time. She will be here (just) for White Lighting.
