Then I looked on my scarf hanger and the lambswool ear warmer I plan
to wear under it later in the season isn't there. This upsets me; I
have other wool scarves, but I've had that one since I was young
enough to tie it under my chin instead of pinning it, and its
bright-red color once saved me from lying in a ditch for several
hours.

About the scarves: Remember Isadora Duncan, and be careful out there!

Not in Thailand but Singapore has a Classic Car Club and you
occasionally see antique (usually) British cars with the driver and
passengers in period costume.

During a bike tour in France a few years ago, we were passed on the road
by some sort of antique car club. These were not the Model A Fords we >occasionally see around here, and which a friend of mine owns. The cars
were much earlier (probably 1910 - 1920) and, to our eyes, very exotic.
I remember some of the drivers were in the old car coats, caps and
goggles. It was an unexpected and fun encounter!

I'm sure that there must be similar clubs in the U.S. as I remember
when I was stationed in California - don't remember what Base - I
drove into the Base Exchange parking lot one day and there was a Model
A Roadster with a rumble seat. The first car I remember my parents
having :-)

A winter tip: put tights on before putting calf-high socks on. The
tights give socks something to cling to so they don't settle down
around your ankes.

Less cheerfully, I've now remembered that wearing tights touches off
the neurodermatitis on my shins. Doesn't matter what fiber; it must
just be pressure reading as scratching. It doesn't start until after
I take the tights off, thank goodness.

I'd forgotten that I have neurodermatitis, so the first time it
re-appeared, I raked my nails over my shin instead of rubbing with
witch hazel. Explosive itch! I did remember not to scratch myself
bloody.

Tomorrow we are going to drive two hours, probably arriving at noon,
visit until four o'clock, then drive back, ending with driving half an
hour in civil twilight, and the last quarter hour in nautical
twilight.

This used to be a lot more fun.

I'm taking devilled eggs, three kinds of pickles that I made last
summer, Aldi's Christmas truffles, and a St. Annne's cheeseball that I
bought at Zales Pharmacy. Everybody seems to have a freezer of St.
Anne's cheesballs, even Sherman & Lynn's.

I just Google-map streetviewed. St. Anne's is a really-neat-looking
church building; I must glance to my left the next time I come home by
West Market Street. That end of Market hasn't been rendered League
Against Bicycling "bike friendly" yet, so I can still use it.

We left at half-past three and got home while it was still light
enough to see.

I brought back more food than I took. I left two jars of pickles on
the table, but put the sweet pickles and the cheeseball back into our
cooler. Maybe four devilled eggs were left for the late-comers -- we
left before the father of the grandchildren got off work.

I discovered that when Mom was in nursing school, Methodist Hospital
sent report cards to Grandfather. She scored 100 in tuberculosis. The questions for some of her essay tests were also in the envelope my
nephew found while cleaning his mother's house, which had also been my
mother's house. I hope they gave Mom all day to answer them!

A sign that fall, while still here is almost over:

As I was pulling out of my driveway on Wednesday, I'm pretty sure that
I saw a leaf-sucker with a snowplow blade on it turn into Columbia.

The season marches on. Yesterday I wore my alpaca shawl for the first
time.

But that's partly because we were going to dinner and a play after
church, and I didn't want to wear a long dress.

Today I was in such a hurry to get to the lawyer's office soon enough
to get back before time to put the pizza in the oven that I forgot my
coat, and didn't mind a bit despite the snow on the ground. When I
stopped for butter on the way back, I parked in a far corner of the
lot, and still didn't mind having no coat. But I was glad that I had
a hat in my purse.

The snow isn't going to stick. It fell Sunday night and was at least
half gone by sunset today.
