My nieces came up from Virginia to visit my wife and me. They stayed overnight. We ate fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, played games, and watched TV. It was fun.

On Friday evening I was out on the street dressed. I passed by a man panhandling for money. I dug into my purse and retrieved a few coins. I walked up to him and deposited them in his coffee cup.
"Thank you very much, Ma'am." I am still euphoric today about the comment. It's amazing how people perceive and react to you when I change my persona.

I will be starting classes on a few days. I can't wait. I was shopping for my fall and winter wardrobe. Saw some nice long sleeve blouses and some skirts. My first winter coat is in order, too.
