I can imagine that your heart is inundated with so many memories of your life with him and that those memories bring gratitude that will take the two of you forward.<br /><br />Second, thank you for writing about Chadwick Boseman. I'm not much of a movie goer and so I miss the emergence and rise and careers of so many fine actors. I'll try to get his movies as DVDs from our library. Peace.

Sounds like Chadwick Boseman was a special man who was not only a great actor, but a very good person. Sad that we lost him so early in his life.<br />I am very happy that SG is improving well. I am still too hot here in the mountains of NC. We will have high 80s today, but I took Lexie for a walk earlier this morning and it was in the 70s.

It's really beautiful. As for Fall, I like it second best to Spring... guess the changing of the seasons from harsh (hot or cold) to mellow is soothing. I do love when the lawns around here are covered with golden leaves!<br />As for the Black Panther movie, we've not seen it, but possibly will now that you've recommended it.

Tomorrow, Labor Day, I'll go over to the marina and record the sun going down on summer. And then the next day summer will return with sunny warm - hot! - days.

After 20 consecutive days of 90F weather (and higher) here in Pittsburgh, we are more than ready for Fall. I liked your analogy of the seasons just not changing soon but the world too... It’s why I appreciate yours (and others) thoughtful words more than usual now, they give me pause to reflect on things.<br /><br />Also appreciated your dear tribute to Chadwick Boseman. I’m going to be honest and admit I wasn’t as big a fan of ‘Black Panther’ as I thought I’d be, but I was fortunate to see ‘Get on Up’ at the theater 5-6 years ago (his biopic of James Brown) and he literally astounded the audience. It’s rare to see moviegoers applause but we sure did here! He really was a giant talent... what a loss for all of us. Well, I sure hope your week ahead is a positive one, DJan.<br />ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-49068515353115372452020-09-06T07:46:43.133-07:002020-09-06T07:46:43.133-07:00It is good to hear of your husband’s continued pro...It is good to hear of your husband’s continued progress. <br /><br />I love the early part of autumn since I retired.
