Here in southern California we have been having thunder storms & hot weather . It was 102 F today & along with the hot weather fires .  In 2003 the Cedar Fire came 100ft. from our home .  No electricity , the freezer thawed , the leakage ruined the floor & had to be replaced . 

Alpiner...I saw the fires on tv at noon. We're getting smoke from all the Canadian wildfires.
 I can't image what it would be like to live so close and worry you'd lose it all.

No fires here, but temps are warming up again...more like July-August than Sept. 

My doc visit to the hematologist went well.  He's pleased with my bloodwork. Next year I have to have an xray of all my bones to see if any indications of myeloma.  It's always some darn thing.
 

Stay safe and healthy,

Hi Gals, I'm finally back. Weather has been in high 70"s, low 80's tor a while but we'll probably have another taste of summer soon. Weather is so changeable. here.
We recovered well from Covid and then last week got a UTI! Groan. Back on antibiotics. But don't feel bad now.

Brian was in town last week for work and we got to spend some time with him Tues & Thurs. He travels so much for his job and then next week he and his wife and her family are going to Europe for 10 days.  The week after he has to go to Australia for work. Lots of airtime!

I'm so glad to hear your good report, Jane. You're always in my prayers. Alpiner, I don't envy you your location, weather and fires. So scary. Darlene, your temps are awful too. I ho[e the hurricane rain, etc didn't cause any damage.

I have a Zoom appt with my neurosurgeon on Tues. He should tell me if I am approvedd for the brain treatment and when it will be. I will be so glad to have it and be able to type decently. Please ignore my typos.

Other than that, it's bridge, newsletter.bulletin, etc. Nothing exciting.

Stay well and cool everyone.  Sherry
