Carol Kean is BAAAACK! I'm so happy! Deliriously happy! I love your posts. I think you were one of the first authors I fell in love with on Hive.

Have you not been able to walk to your happy place since the derecho? I'd forgotten about it, but boy if you lost 60% of your canopy, I'll bet you never forget about it.

Prince looks pretty good in these photos. He must be some trooper.

I hope your walk to the river, despite the problems, helped you recover some more peace and joy.
