More people and car ride :)

People in pic - sister #1's companera de trabajo in Paraguay and her host family AFS "sister" from Windham CT from 1968-69 school year.  As I shared with sister and friend on ride home - you can't make this stuff up as to what dominos had to fall for the three of us to be in that car riding home from a visit with this host sister's house...Connecticut and Paraguay over 50+ years.  Sister and friend met in 1970's.  Sister and I had never been to this part of our state.  Also host family - ties to where sister and I went to college, beach we went to growing up, and a family friend of theirs going to sister #4's school...Yikes.  :)

So that was pretty much the day - ride to eastern Connecticut, incredible spread for lunch, ride home.  Sister and friend off to drive back to VA today.  NO company for me until TX friend gets to town at end of month...

Good news DC at 3 p.m., not sure where rain will let my walk drop.  

You seem to believe that the only way to escape your woes is to flee to a place far away but that isn’t the case. You can enjoy a happier existence right where you are by simplifying your daily routine and taking life at a more measured pace.

When drama brews within your social sphere, it's best to keep out of the mix. As the Leo moon and Uranus square off, it'll be vital that you take these sentiments to heart. Luckily, there will be plenty of positive connections to focus on while Mercury and Jupiter connect, sweet Libra, filling your spirit with love and appreciation for those who lift you. Invest in your relationships, showing gratitude for your closest companions. You'll need more quiet time once Luna enters Virgo this afternoon. Reflect on your aspirations within matters of the heart and creative projects when a rare mood forms tonight. 

Money matters might seem disastrous today, Libra. You may have had a temporary setback, but you're probably being especially pessimistic and not seeing the whole picture. Sit down and try to juggle a few figures. You will probably find that you're better off than it seemed at first. Whatever expenses come up, you will be able to handle them. Focus on what needs to be done and do it!

Will see what the day brings.  Lots of blog work to do.  Have a good Monday.
