Today is packing day for Hubby and me. I did a mess load of laundry these past few days. We leave for the mountains in Slovakia on Sunday. The high temps in the town where the hotel is will only be in the low to upper 50s F (11 to 15 C) with evening lows just above freezing. Up on mountain hiking trails, even lower. Way up there even has snow in the forecast. Yes, snow. I'll be taking photos.

It's hard to believe that a year ago we were in the midst of preparing our house for sale. We found the house wer'e living in now in September 2020 and started renting it in October 2020, even though we didn't move here until January 2021. A lot of water under the bridge!

Hubby emailed our old neighbor recently. Apparently the houses on our old street had no damage from Hurricane Ida flooding, but many other houses, roads, and some cars in the township didn't fair as well. A couple people in the township died as a result. A handful of people whose cars were swept away in the floods, were rescued hanging on to trees for their lives.
