An October Thursday

We actually got some rain yesterday - a little over 2". According to our weather-folk, this was more than we got in the entire month of September! But it's been so dry, the ground was wet only about 1/8" below the surface. And we'll still take any rain we can get.

Our Thursday lunch was back to the full group again today. This is such a weekly treat - and nothing we ever miss (if at all possible).

And, we went out for dinner tonight, too. A friend's mother died about a month ago, and they've been staying at her house occasionally. They're seriously considering selling their house, and moving into this one. They invited us over for dinner, and to see the house and help them brainstorm about various possibilities. It's a nice house, and they seem to be very comfortable in that setting. We urged him to retain a lawyer for advice and for avoiding missteps along the road to probate. Good luck, friend!

The Chattanooga Head Race is Saturday. This is a rowing regatta, and John will be working on the start line - probably all day. Today's photo was taken last weekend from Ross's Landing in downtown Chattanooga - this is an "eight" women's group from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga team.
