851.

Happy, Happy Thursday everyone!

I hope everyone is safe and happy. I am and I'm thankful.

A howling storm tore through our neighborhood last night. Lots of debris was strewn about when I went out this morning. Tree branches, tree bark, leaves...

There was also a lot of muddy dirt on my porch because one of my flower pots blew over. I accept total blame because the pot was top heavy. There were no plants in it, just dirt and the pinwheel flowers I bought from Dollar Tree to brighten up the porch and entertain me a bit when the wind stirs.

I rearranged things out there today so hopefully the next monsoon won't disrupt the porch tableau.

So about that new thing I mentioned in my last post: audio files supplemented with photos and/or videos because I've been really bad at updating the blog lately.

I want to stay current because as much as I enjoy sharing my life with y'all, this blog is also my living memoir. For as long as I'm living. After I'm gone it will become part of my legacy. Gotta keep it as real as I can.

Okay, so there are currently three audio files waiting to be uploaded here, all recorded on August 1 while I was enjoying the sights and sounds of my favorite local park on the lake.

Actually there are four files but the last one is what I got when I separated the last recording into two recordings, which I did because I forgot to stop the recorder when I went to offer my assistance to... Well, y'all will hear what I mean.

I can hear me talking to folks, walking back to the car (with the phone-in-my-purse noises), me discovering that the phone was still on, etc.  Funny but not for public consumption because the other people probably don't want to be featured here.

All further jaw-flapping aside, I present the audios:

Welllll, looks like I'm having technical difficulties with uploading audio files.

As soon as I figure it out, I'll be back!
