Today was a “get-things-in-order-before-we-leave-for-a-week” day. We got the yard ready for a week of “benign neglect” and organized the cat-care materials for our two cat-sitters.
The St. Louis airport is a 2+ hour drive from home and our flight is an early morning flight — 7:30 a.m., aka “stupid o'clock” — so we left to attend Saturday evening Mass along the way and spent the night in a quirky St. Louis hotel that offered “park-and-fly” for a seemingly-reasonable rate.

@espyetta Alas, Clare deals [still] with hot flashes; this is a fabric-covered fan that she can collapse and put in her purse. It's spread out on a hotel bed, which is the fabric at the top, visible between the fan "slats".
Thanks, MaryBeth! I enjoy putting the 1-year and 2-years ago links in my posts. It helps me see how I have changed as a photographer — hopefully for the better! It also helps put "the past" in appropriate context, as in, "Wow, that was a year ago already?!"
