Per my best laid plans, I was to depart Southern Maryland tomorrow morning for the return trip to New England.
Ha!
This afternoon I had a bit of car trouble.
So instead of going to my 2pm appointment with my tax accountant, I was at the local Volkswagen dealer with Mary Passat for the entire afternoon. Mary was not feeling well. Her automatic transmission skipped a gear because she has a bad clutch pack. The condensed version of the long story is a $570 bandaid repair bill and a tax appointment rescheduled to Friday afternoon.
The new best laid plan is to depart Southern Maryland bright and early on Saturday morning.
As the day was a complete bust in terms of fun travel or fabulous thrifting opportunities to write about, here is a picture of a cat pretending to be a river otter:
This is Pedro. He and Lily and Alley, Jane’s three cats, have adopted me into the family. Last night they slept on the bed with me! They miss their momma.
Meanwhile, I miss my Emma.
She is being well cared for by my brother, Nancy, and Etta.
That is all the news that is fit to print!
Yours, Merryweather

Poor Mary, glad she’s feeling better, bet you’ll be glad to get home to the island.

All three in bed with you? They really do like you. That is a rare occurrence for me! I do miss them. Sorry for your car issue. Hope you enjoy the rest of the week.

It is much better to have vehicle trouble before on the road back to the island. Safe travels and no more vehicle repairs in your future.
