Fast Trip to Maryland

I  flew to Baltimore yesterday to go to a dear friend's mother's funeral.  I was going to have to drive myself to the airport but LUCKILY, Jim's trip to Myrtle Beach was canceled by Hurricane Matthew!  

It was raining in Raleigh but when then airplane broke thru the clouds on the climb to cruising altitude, this was the view all the way to Maryland.

Nancy met me at baggage claim and we went right to the funeral home.  It was a lovely service ~ and we are glad that we were able to attend.

Then Nancy and I went to her home and had a great visit.  I also got to see Drew ~ he gets to work from home on Mondays and Fridays!  And, he loves his job and Nancy says the company LOVES him and his scope of knowledge for all facets of the job.  Plus, he has much less stress.

Of course, Nancy had some Halloween decorations up:

This should be holding candy, but cherry tomatoes are okay.

This holds the liqour.

Not a Halloween decoration ~ Nancy feeds this Turkey Buzzard!

Nancy has a soft spot for the animals ~ she has red foxes this year, a mother raccoon and her babies and this buzzard.  Nancy says the buzzard has invited friends, but they refuse the dog food and leave, but this guy comes every day!  The crows also partake ~ you can just see the crow behind the buzzard.

Nancy and Drew took me to the airport and I am back home to the very wet remnents of Hurricane Matthew.  We have had 5 inches + of water so far, it is windy and the big dogs only want to go out on a leash but the little dogs (Snoopy and Loki) go in and out at will and get soaked.  Infact, here is a wet black dog now shaking water everywhere!!!!!

Lori and Maren went to the Army-Duke game.  I do not imagine they will stay for the entire game.  But, you never know!!!!

Stay dry and stay safe!
Love, Leslie
