....but wish to jot a few lines first!
*This morning brought sad thoughts as the news reports the death of a Jacksonville Sheriff's Officer. Only moments after the end of his shift, he struck a parked semi on 9-A and sheared off the top of his patrol car, dying in the wreck. As soon as I hear some tragic news involving JSO, I hold my breath until I know it's not any of the officers with whom I am associated. It's always tragic to lose one of these officers, but would be more so for me to lose those I actually am acquainted with and care about.

Last night was our first choir rehearsal with Robbie at the helm as our leader and accompanist. He'd called me in the afternoon to review when I will be away, and I sort of "altered" his plans for one of the songs, which will be sung when I'm gone. Originally he'd told me we weren't singing until mid-October so I wasn't too concerned but evidently Pastor wants an anthem in September as well. We rehearsed it round and round for nearly an hour, after mucho discussion about who sings what and when do they sing it. How funny to say we went round and round since it somewhat sounds like a round! Robbie had a part for me to sing alone but I think now he gave it to Brian. We are interchangeable!?!

I stayed up wwaayy too late watching the Convention and such so it took a long time to get to sleep. My stomach was grumbling and it occurred to me I'd not had any dinner, with only nibbles here and there all day. Breathing a sigh of relief because it appears TS Hanna is keeping away from my shoreline, I still am apprehensive of Ike, who is heading this way as well. I hate it that I won't be home when the time comes and am not certain I can depend upon Justin getting things in order here as will be needed. My long-messy desk and table may just be cleaned off by dumping the whole works into a storage bin and put in the closet for safe keeping. Who knew it would be so simple a task? I have to get my important stuff away from the windows, in case they blow in or leak.

Judy R. was telling me about her newly re-decorated office/guest room, complete with new flooring and fresh paint. All the "stuff" had to come out of the room in order to work, but less was put back in. I envy her fresh start in the heartbeat of their home. She says her beloved Jer Bear is usually the culprit about not putting things back when taken out, but I have no one other than me to blame in this house! I've always had problems with filing, but a friend of mine, who used to work in our office, simply LOVED to file. I don't get it....wonder if it's a left-brain/right brain thing? I hope not since both Rebecca and I are lefties!

Well, I must go shower and get dressed for the day, as the new Thrivent agent team is coming by shortly. Evidently they are changing their way of doing business or something but want to come see me and review my insurances. Hopefully no arm twisting to buy some more! My accountant said we have enough expenses that we don't need to add so many more insurance payments to the mix. Love his optimism about not needing it!
