Back Home Again . . .

The first thing I noticed was the lack of humidity here in Weatherford.  After New Roads, Angeles Plantation and False River it as quite dry here, only about 65% or so humidity.  While the temperatures in Pointe Coupee were not outrageous, the normal humidity was its typical self, high, damp and oppressing.  Small price to pay for paradise.

But it was good to return to one's abode, one's castle so to speak.  Lonely though as Judie was still in Madison visiting with grandson Will and his parents.  They will soon be off to a visit to France  for a week.  Anne and Will stay only a week.  Jake will be there for a long bike ride.

I miss Europe for the summer months but do not miss the political doings going on over the Euro.  I would love to spend a couple of weeks in Germany again, perhaps a few days in London to go with it.  But that ain't gonna happen.  I am sure it has all changed as my elderly memory slowly declines.  What I thought was a great place and climate might just be pretty tough.  Oh well, better to feast upon one's memories.

We will soon charge back to New Roads for Amanda Louise's graduation from LSU.  I am sure James and Joan will be glad that task is done with.  Soon Jammie will be on his way to some higher education.  I would not be surprised that he would go to Vanderbilt with all of Joan's connects there.  No matter that he festoons all kinds of LSU dress, these things can change over night with the younger generation as they too mature and look about.

Judie is back now.  Arrived last night on American Eagle.  Picked her up and we went and voted in the local election for city fathers.  We have yet another election cycle coming up for county and state officials.  We thought they would do it one time but that is not the case.  The Democratic lawsuits over Gerrymandering changed the dates.  The Democrats lost their lawsuit and the Supreme Court level, saying local Federal Judges can not over rule local legislatures that are acting in accordance with the state constitutions.  A five to four decision and sorely disappointed the local Democrats  Texas is a Red state now days, swinging ever more and more conservative.

Any way it is good to be home again.
