Another hurricane, IKE

[Tiramisu]

I came in to work this morning. Everybody's keeping to themselves due to lack of a good hot shower in a week!

Hubby gave up and hired somebody to cut the big tree up. In looking for the bright side - nobody will need to buy firewood this winter in our part of town and THANK GOD it's been cooler!

I have been depressed from not being able to help in the clean up. I'd go lay on the bed and Hubby would tell me to come sit outside. The neighbors who have generators bring coffee to me and one morning I had three cups delivered.

Most of our neighbors are outsiders and we used to visit more, but after all the kids grew up we stopped. This has brought up back out and together.

Looks like gas is slowly coming back into good supply. Traffic lights are out and that's pain, but it seems most are being patient - even my Hubby.

Sorry - I'm rambling.

In your rambling we're getting an idea of what things are like for you down there. I'm glad that you're getting re-aquainted with your neighbors. How wonderful for them to bring you coffee!!!

You can ramble all you want Sandy. It was wonderful that they brought you coffee. If they did that for me..since I love my coffee of a morning, I'd have to add them to my will...lol.

I remember when I was younger how the neihbors would get together for cookouts. Enjoy it while you can, before everything gets back to normal.
