The Eye

Mom & Gigi left last night for their trip back to Nevada. It’s more than 2,000 miles all the way (to quote the popular song).

Actually once they get past Memphis and onto I-40 they’ll be following much of what was the old route 66. They left here at 1am, and are hoping to get home by Monday evening, with a stop-over somewhere in Texas.

Sitting here this morning, it’s another gray day outside, and looking like rain. It’s cooler, so I’ve turned off the a/c for a while, and open the sun-room door upstairs to get some fresh air in. You can’t beat fresh air!

It’s Labor Day weekend here, which marks the start of the end of the summer season, and when things start to close down for the winter. It’s a bit like the August Bank Holiday weekend in England. However, I always find it kind of strange here that we’re talking about the end of summer, when the temperature outside is still in the 80’s during the day, and is usually so, for at least a couple more months.
