Hello

We're home. It was a fun weekend. First up was a hike at Moose Hill. We got lost and had to use GPS to find our way back (one wrong turn). I slid down a hill on my back because of so many acorns I couldn't get traction (luckily, no back injury). It was beautiful weather and a beautiful trail.

Our hotel was near 2 of our favorite Virginia staples and we did lunch and dinner, respectively.

The wedding was beautiful. We had a nice table with good conversation. Morning wedding and reception and then a dinner event at my friend's house. It was nice to share this day with my friend -- keeping connection is important to me. We had a long chat about the weekend yesterday too. 

Flight home was a bit wonky. Take off stopped to go back to gate and kick 2 families off for behavior issues. Massive construction on the drive home. I was tired Sunday evening. 

Can't complain one bit. Very glad we had this weekend.

We are still so upset about Asheville and now another monster hurricane to hit FL. We have family who are evacuating. This will also pull recovery resources from Asheville (of course). No power, cell or water still at our house and no time frame for any of it.

I have perspective on how lucky we are, but I'm also really sad about the loss of our mountain retreat this year. It is a lot of heartbreak for everything. And, let's add the election worry to the mix. Geez. It's a hard time. And, I'm fine -- I know. Both can be true.

Quick little wedding tidbit. Seat assignments were in little bud vase and we got to keep them. Someone gave me theirs too. I filled them from the last of my garden flowers. This idea is going to make it's way into the spa decor.

I have a lab draw for hormones today. Checking on the testosterone levels and hoping to see a results that indicate no need for a biopsy. We'll see.

Have a good Tuesday. Later gators.
