There is nothing like hick charm in my book even if Nick lovingly mocks Les for the way he says wonderful, won’rful has an endearing quality.<\/p>\n
Nancy sent a note this morning after trying to reach me several times – she had a flat in nowhere Virginia and is trying to make sense of it all.

Note yesterday from my beloved Dana that she and hers are safe back in Houston after evacuating. Need to go see her – she’s always a good antidote to real world stress. But whirlwind of travel coming up – unfamiliar ceilings to contemplate – more things to miss – and always the anticipation that travel brings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
