Welcome: Good morning. I truly had a wonderful weekend. I saw so many family members, it was a dream come true. I saw my great-grandma June, I call her Nana June. I had fed her breakfast and dinner. I saw my grandma Marcy. I visited with cousin Philip and his daughter Gail. I enjoyed eating a burger, the veggie kind, with my cousin Micci. Most wonderfully, I met my great-granduncle Bill and great-grandaunt Barb. The day I met them was one of the happiest days in my life. I felt so much raw joy, it almost was as if I found a part of me that had been hidden. I still remember when we first arrived at their house a few days ago, Uncle Bill opened his garage, I walked in, and there he was ready to give me a big hug. My family is my highest value, it hurts to lose them, but heals to find them. Sending this one out to all my family: I love you!
Special: On the drive home, the weather was a disaster. The rain was pouring. I don't mean heavy rain, I mean the sky opened up and would not close. This was extremely heavy rain. Visibility was little to none at times. I am not sure if these were widespread or scattered, but where these heavy showers came repeatedly, they flooded. Cool weather is here..

Wednesday/August/14/2024
Welcome: Good afternoon. I went to see the doctor yesterday, just for a yearly physical. I got a vaccine for something, my arm no longer hurts in that spot today. Last night was actually very nice. On some days my sister and I agree, fall is coming soon. For me, the autumn season begins September 1st, I know for many it begins later. Already, a question going around is will it be a busy winter? Currently, I don't feel that it will be a complete snow kingdom. My prediction as of now, a few big snow storms, a couple of moderate ones, and many little ones. Although, overall it will not be super chilly. Honestly, that was all a guess...

Welcome: Good afternoon. My dog is quite strange. Sometimes she acts like a human. She will stand up on her hind legs and look out the window, patrolling the street with her eyes. When I was sleeping this morning, her bark woke me up. When I let her out back she is the quickest creature in the yard. I wonder what my dog thinks of the humidity? It was so funny yesterday, my dog was chasing one of the cats around the house. I hope we can let the dog run out back today, she will enjoy the nice weather...

Welcome: Good afternoon. Yesterday my dad and I sorted our DVD collection. I would not say we have an extreme amount, but it took a while. I was surprised to learn that Best Buy no longer sells DVDs. Ever more shocking, many places now sell vinyl. With streaming, I wonder if people will forget what DVDs are. Life in the future could be so different than today. Take the weather for example, will artificial intelligence be reporting it to you or will humans? Questions time will only answer. In the meantime, enjoy the forecast...

Saturday/August/10/2024
Welcome: Good afternoon. No flooding occurred where I live; the power briefly went out and we did have some wind damage, tree branches were down. I have found not one, but two different cousins that live in the Berkshires. I am sure I have more. What a small world, and an even smaller community. The only challenge is, we are distantly related, both cousins, the DNA shows a connection, but what is that connection, I don't know. Back to the research and onto the weather...

Welcome: Good afternoon. New rainfall totals from Debby are looking like 1 to 3 inches. Some tornadoes will be possible too. Those living in New York State should be on alert; they seem to be getting more rain than us. In other news, I found out a possible distant cousin of mine was in the Olympics this year. Her name is Jessica Von Bredow and she won gold medals! More research is needed to confirm this theory, but it is still amazing...

Rainfall amounts now seem to be 2 to 4 inches. The track can still shift, so we could get less or we could even get more. I had a wonderful conversation with my great-grandma yesterday.
