And the Storm Passes

There is a song called "Hard Hearted Hannah" that is part of the Adventurers Club repertory sung by Pamelia Perkins Club President. And that was what Peter and I were calling this hurricane that was headed to New York. Well Hannah, apparently, had a soft heart because we got a lot of rain and some wind but nothing like we could have gotten. I have walked the property this morning and most of what is on the ground is no worse that a bad thunderstorm.

This morning the skies are blue and the temperature is fine. The humidity that I could cut with a knife yesterday is gone. All in all, it is a pretty nice outside.

All I have gotten done in terms of clean up from the convention right now is that the laundry is done and the kitchen floor is clean. Today I want to get more done in the kitchen including cleaning out the medicine cabinet of all expired product. I haven't done that in about a year so it is time to do so. I figure if I do a cabinet a day, I can get the kitchen back in order without stressing.

Caroline is enjoying her weekend but is looking forward to school tomorrow. This will be her first full week of school. Her body rhythms are good for the schedule she has. She goes to sleep about 9 and get up about 7 and takes about a one-hour nap when she gets home from school.

I am grateful that the storm was not as bad as predicted.

I'm grateful for the same. We've had much worse damage from thunderstorms.

Ditto on the gratitude, although since we've only been here a year, I've had limited storm action.

And I've been out to pick up tree limbs in the back yard. I'll have to do the front yard at some point.

Hard-hearted Hannah is the vamp from Savannah, which is how I know the song, being from Savannah :)

Hanna did us a nice favor as well. Since Bill's flight was delayed (out of LaGuardia), they re-crewed the flight he would have flown from ATL to Florida. So he got to spend Saturday night at home and actually go to church and sing Sunday morning. Yay!

Now Ike, OTOH, is going to screw up his schedule royally.

Glad to hear y'all are okay up there.
