Walker’s owner Len reminded me that i havent updated my Sullys page in some time. Just did that and added this pix of Sully out enjoying the sun, heat, humidity, and fresh everything! Pile of Rose of Sharon and Mulberry leaves for a snack.

Pity Adam isn't here I passed a shop today which I assume sells our friend's favourite food.
It was called 'Holy Cheeses'
Maybe they just sell Swiss cheese.
Whahaha. Yip he would definitly appreciate that. Although he might be upset about all the missing cheese pieces. [emoji23] [emoji23]

Oh, that’s so hard, Ed. And there’s nothing you can do except provide her with the best care you can... :(
Sorry to hear about your sister. Do you have any other siblings?
I have a few half brothers and sisters.
I'm relatively close to my youngest half brother but have little contact with the rest.
My sister had an issue with drug abuse. We also were not close. She and my mother lived together. She never left home.

My best friend has this with her 94 year old, frail and forgetful Mum. She thinks she’s being held prisoner half the time. The care home is great and friend’s Mum really cannot look after herself now
Same here.
Mom needs assistance with nearly everything and the home and staff are top notch.

I'm back home.
There's a giant storm out there in the Gulf Coast and I pretty much drove through some of it.
However. Of the 500 miles home, I only spent about 2 hours driving in the rain and only about 1 hour in heavy rain. I made it in just over 8 hours. So it was good time.
I was greeted by a delirious little dog. Kelly was also happy to have me back....Just not as much as Suki.
I understand completely.
It's good to be home.

Dogs are always better greeters!!

There aren't too many of us U.S. CDR'ers, but it's a holiday week-end for us here. Maybe we're away for the week-end.

It’s a holiday weekend in the UK too, but not here in Norway. It’s our last day today - we head home this afternoon.

Back home some places have suffered flooding during big storms. Part of Birmingham had 58mm (Well over 1 inch) of rain in an hour. A cousin of JoesDad had water up to the doorstep :(

Luckily our house won’t flood. It’s at the top of a hill; if it flooded arks would be needed in the rest of the county.

Which reminds me that I thought of Adam as I took a photo of this street food van yesterday... dreadful pun :D
