Earthquakes & checking in

I heard the news about New Zealand on Thursday evening. I'm so glad Fran was able to reach Marion and could tell us she is okay.

Seems that our dear old planet is having a bit of rock & roll, with so many big earthquakes lately. A few years ago, we signed on for earthquake insurance for our house. We are less than 200 miles from the New Madrid Fault and the regional quake experts predict something to happen in the near future. Our house is brick, so all sorts of damage could happen.

WEATHER - We finally have some deliciously cool weather! Last night's low was 55°F and the high is 77 but the humidity is very low. Absolutely beautiful weather! A big thank you to Canada for sending it to us.

NEWS - Our son and his wife will be moving here some time over the next 3 to 9 months. DS accepted a transfer to his employer's office here. Their largest hurdle is selling their house in Atlanta in a slow market and bad economy. They are not planning to move house until it sells, so DDIL may stay down there to live and work until it does. Nothing is decided yet, though, and we will take it all one day at a time. Now,,, if I could only get her interested in sewing . . . but I won't hold my breath.

JANE IN NC -- How is your new dog Kit settling in?

Hugs to everyone.
