Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My husband and I closed down our cabin yesterday. We drove up three hours, dragged the deck furniture inside, put on the heavy wooden shutters, drained he water tank, shut off the water, and most exhausting of all, struggled with the canoe to get it under the deck and on its side so water won't fill it. The canoe only weighs seventy pounds, but you'd think it was seven hundred pounds. And it's long and awkward. Luckily, the guy who rakes our pine needles carted it up the hill for us, but he didn't have a key to get it under the cabin. Anyway, we were exhausted but relieved when we got back home at six pm. I had cleverly ordered dinner and it arrived on our doorstep a minute before we did. So we ate mediterranean food and watched "Practical Magic", continuing our Halloween theme. The night before it was "Arsenic and Old Lace" and maybe tonight "Shawn of the Dead". Anything to help take my mind off my vision problems, which now include flashes of scenes and other strange stuff. I may have to call the eye doctor again on Monday. In the meantime, texting and talking with friends is distracting and tomorrow we will see our grandsons for lunch and a bit. Today we Facetimed with another grandson who was thrilled with the felt kitty on a pumpkin I sent him. Children do adore this holiday.
