A short update.... I'm adjusting to the new schedule and system of working for a company........ kind of a shock to the system after many years of working for myself!

Sunday my friend Todd took me for a motorcycle ride- it was really fun. We had intentions of going to the Apple Festival here in town, the biggest thing all year for Erwin, but when we got there we found out it had closed down for Sunday! I keep forgetting that Sunday is a special day in these parts..... almost everything closes. So we just went for a ride, drove towards Asheville and it was a gorgeous day. He has a 73 Harley named Ashley! It was fun and relaxing.

I have a heavy heart- Charley (I call him Bubba), the white cat, has been missing since Friday night. I understand he might just be out and about and will show back up, but it just doesn't feel right and I'm worried about him. He loves to go up in the woods and also loves to come inside, so for him to be completely gone for so long is really strange. I'm really sad to think that I might not see him again- he is such a cool guy and I've really enjoyed the time I've had with him.

I'm off to build a table and mow the lawn. I hope everyone is well. I you can, pray for Charley.
