Good morning!
Kathie - Happy to see your post. I figured you had to be without electric, as we know you just can't stay away from us!! So glad everything worked out so well at George's funeral. Definitely nice to see old friends, even if at such a sad time
Dave - Nice that you're continuing to progress so well. Before you know it, you'll be chasing Kathi around the house. Biggest problem will be that once you catch her, you won't know what to do!! LOL You never answered what you think of ghost pepper seasoning.
Our generator gets brought out of the garage and runs outside. We don't need any carbon monoxide poisoning! If we're expecting a storm, Bert fills it gas and has it ready in place. Once electric goes off, it will immediately kick in, or so they say. We've never had to use it in 18 years and I hope we don't start now!!!
Shoes on or off ... Definitely on. Unless you had snow boots or wet muddy shoes, everyone leaves their shoes on in our family. We often have to tell guests to leave their shoes on when they come in, as so many do it automatically. I think it all depends on how your are raised as a kid. Both of our families kept shoes on and more than once I've seen Bert say let's go when someone tells us to take shoes off!! The kids take their shoes off all the time, but you never know where they're going to leave them and often go home without them.
Karen - I hope you're battening down the hatches. Last I heard, the eye of Idalia might cross right over Ocala! I bet the mad dash is on the clear the shelves of all milk, water, bread, eggs and anything else that can be fixed without electricity.
Here we shouldn't get really bad winds, but we sure need the rain to fill up our lake again. A good 6-8 inches of rain would do the trick and people will be able to put their boats in the lake again.
Ouch on that bee sting! I hope your ear feels better today and that you don't have a "cauliflower ear"!
Lee - So glad to have had our group drink in honor of Bert's birthday. He said to thank everyone for all the good wishes. Really made him feel special!
Bill - Got those suitcases ready to hit the road again. ? Definitely different clothes needed for the trip to Aruba, right? Time for some jackets & sweaters.
Last night's celebration of Bert's birthday dinner was giant snow crab clusters. Keeping with the birthday dinner mode, tonight's dinner will be shrimp cocktail, filet mignon and baked potatoes. With leftover ice cream cake, of course.
Time now for a cup of coffee and to see what's new in the news.
