Sounds like a nice weekend, Gayle. I hope Gary has a wonderful time!

Sandy, what a good idea to sleep there! I am so happy for you! Do you have any colors picked out yet? Decorating styles?

I am busy gathering contribution of clothing, bedding, etc. to take over to a community center nearby for the flood victims. I was planning on going over today, but I think it's going to rain tomorrow, so probably will wait tilll then. I have to pick up some more stuff this morning from my neighbor.

My friends are leaving this weekend, so I am spending as much time with them as possible. We have been by the pool whenever we can, getting in our last licks! I am going to be lost without them! I really do love the three families I have been friends with all along, plus we have become friendly with 2 other couples who are also very nice. Another nice couple has been siting with us at the pool too. I will definitely miss the pool! It is so beautiful up there, and a place to go every day where people I really like are always there! I have some other things set up for the fall, and might sign up for tai chi.

I also put all of my projects on hold for the summer. I realized a while ago that I have all winter to stay home and do things. It was a really good plan. It is much better to get out and enjoy the summer, my friends, the pool, and the beautiful Catksills.

I don't know yet what the outcome of the flood will be as far as my town is concerned. We may lose several stores because the buildings are not safe anymore. I would become much more involved in helping, except that a lot of the people running the volunteer groups are a little too wacky. You must know the type...young, intense, idealistic, with no lives of their own, who like to jump in and take over. I prefer to help out quietly, wherever I might be needed. I will work it out for sure.
