Hello, North Carolina. Goodbye Florida.I guess I can consider myself a true Carolinean. Got my new drivers license last week and on Monday, got my new license plates. Wow!
Have been so concerned about my friends and family still in my ex-state due to Irma, that I haven't really had a chance to concentrate on my new lifestyle. Plan to get started on that asap. For those who knew that the closing on my condo was scheduled for today, the 15th, the buyer's been granted an extension to next Friday, the 22nd. More of Irma's doing, but keeping my fingers crossed that the sale still goes through. Grove Isle's landscaping and the Club itself, suffered lots of damage, but the condo buildings emerged unscathed, thank goodness, and we even all have power and air-conditioning back. No TV, apparently, since the cable across the bridge was destroyed, but Comcast is promising to fix things shortly.
Checked in on damage to all my old stamping grounds. . Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens, The Kampong, Vizcaya. . all suffered damage to the trees and plants, but the buildings came through well. My friend Dianne, who's a docent at Zoo Miami, says they will stay closed until the major damage to their foliage and some of the animal areas has been cleaned up. The animals all came through without incident.
Grandson Adam, his wife Amy, and great-grandson Grayson, are back in their Jacksonville home, safe and sound. Grayson just lost his first tooth! Major event in a 6 year old's life!
Hopefully, the northeast can say No way, Jose, to the hurricane of that name still out there, and we can get back to a more normal lifestyle.
