This past week, which marked the Autumnal Equinox, was a stay-at-home week for the two of us. It rained every day. In fact, it's raining right now. While some people get depressed with all the rain, Nancy becomes inspired to do things around the house. So we made a couple of trips to Lowe's and several other stores for paint and accessories and spent our time painting and hanging and nailing and repairing. You'll just have to drop by the see the results. In the evenings we gave some of the new TV shows a chance to impress. That didn't work out too well. I think the networks need to go back to their drawing boards.

The picture above was taken by Nancy several years ago near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We're planning to return there later this Fall with Nancy's sister Elaine and her husband Karl.
