Third Meandering ...

No. We're not in the house. Maybe later this week. We've started bringing over a few things.

Hubby put a tablecloth and flowers on a work table. 

But, of course, the Regency Romance Ball is next Saturday.

*sigh*

Fourth Meandering ...

Between packing and hucking & chucking things, I've tried to get in a little editing. Here's a short excerpt from Swing Vote, Safe Harbors #3.

“Zack, Kathy.” When Marc saw their eyes looking at him through the mirror, he said, “You’ll have to move fast. We have weather heading for us.” 

The nurse’s eyes widened a little, but all she did was check her harness again. 

“I’m glad base isn’t that far away,” Zack said.

Watching the dark, roiling mass of clouds, Marc agreed. He just wished they didn’t have to get fly into the storm to reach the ambulance there.

As they approached the ledge, his pulse calmed a little at the stillness of the air. But for how long? He gave himself a mental shake. It didn’t matter. They couldn’t—wouldn’t—leave that pair on the precipice to face the storm unprotected.

Fourth Meandering ...

I usually try not to wax political on here, but I'm troubled by some of the things that are happening in my country right now. Americans should remember that the White House is not the only power in DC. There's also the Senate and the House of Representations with our elected representatives. We also have the judiciary.

I'm not telling people how to think, but please avail yourselves of contacting your elected representatives about how you feel. They function best if they don't function in the vacuum of Washington DC.

“If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away.

Awaken him with your words,

elevate him with your deeds,

\repay his injury with your kindness. 

Do not cast him away;

cast away his wickedness.” 

~Lao Tzu
