Loved the CAT poem! My sister and I are in Blairsville, GA, close to the TN, NC (I think) state line. We are about 2 ours north of Atlanta. I'm glad you are settling in and finding a hospitable study in your new apartment. Are you close to Duke University? We are busy helping my Dad "do what needs doing." Yesterday, we built a rotating book tower where he hopes to arrange lots of white binders which substitute for the filing system in his office upstairs. It's becoming way too hard to manage getting up there even with walkers placed on each floor and a stair lift. If only he would agree to assisted living, but that is out of the question. The worst thing is he can't hear and misunderstands what the doctors tell him, including date/time for his next appointment. I agree with your assessment of the weather. We are surrounded by woods and mountains up here and it rains briefly on most days; otherwise it's hot and HUMID. Drink your fluids! Hugs to Bernadette. (Sp?) PS: Maybe it's time for adopting a couple of kitties!
Emily, your book tower idea seems really creative, but I’m sorry your Dad is having trouble with his hearing. I understand his desire to fight assisted living. I don’t mean to make light of it here. I think that we are close to Duke University, but much closer to UNC.
Thanks for reading the cat poem. They have been a subject for me several times now. I hope you are settling in well where you are!
Yes, raging in SoCal as well. Still writing and riding, next Monday brings a ride to CO and NM, particularly Taos. And, maybe material for a 4th in the biker devotion series. :)
Thanks, Tim, for reading, and for the blessing! I will rage against AL. I cling to two activities as my proof that I am independent: cooking/preparing my own meals, and walking every day. Hope you are well.

Nice cat poem! It appears you are settling in well to life in NC!
Thanks, Paula. Yes, we are settling quite well so far.
it will be good to revisit our discussions at Mt. Hermon! I'll likely ride the bike. It's not far, but nice to get it out.
Yes, raging in SoCal as well. Still writing and riding, next Monday brings a ride to CO and NM, particularly Taos. And, maybe material for a 4th in the biker devotion series. :)
Daring and exciting. Glad you will be teaching at the So Cal Writers Conference this fall. I plan to be there.
And I guess, instead of a bike, I have my guitar.
A fine exposition of a nice transition. Blessings in your new life. And do rage against AL. ;)
