Still alive.....

....the hurricane/tropical storm ended up hitting land a little south of us so we mainly got lots of rain and it was very windy all day yesterday. Of course for the next couple of days, we will have residual rain from the storm but really that is nothing new. It rains almost every day here anyway.....at least for 10 - 15 minutes.

Mom, dad and Joey stayed home from work yesterday as their jobs were closed due to the potential hurricane. They were in and out all day as the resulting weather was not that bad. The only thing that was really open was WalMart, of course. Since we never lost power or internet, I worked all day as normal.

No BINGO last night so we stayed in and played cards. I was winning in the beginning but of course, fell to last place by the time the game was over. But, it was fun.

I guess, I officially feel like I live here now. It is nice having people around in the morning and evening to talk to and hang out with, but I am missing everyone in Texas too. I'm starting to have trivia withdrawal...ha ha ! I'm going to try and get out to play, next week.

Later.

Well, this is new.

I am battening down the hatches for a hurricane. Here is a picture [not that great of quality] from the National Hurricane Center website that shows the probable course for the hurricane [now known as Tropical Storm Fay] - on the picture where the PINK star is.....yeah, that's where I live.

Eeek !
More later.
