Busy Tuesday

Still no idea of where Irma is going, but the general consensus is that no matter which route she takes we're going to get a load of rain.  So in anticipation of that we went to the store today to stock up on water.  Seems like everyone else had that idea yesterday and most of their water was gone though they're expecting more this afternoon.  We bought 3 cases, that's 72 bottles.
Also started looking for a generator and of course locally they're all gone.  We did find one on Amazon, not cheap, but we've been meaning to buy one for quite a while and we might as well get a good one.  It will be here Friday.

The tropical force winds are due to arrive in southern Florida about Friday so we should be ok.  Hoping everyone in the path does ok.
Yesterday was a beautiful Labor Day.  We swam, dipped hundreds of Love Bugs out of the pool, hope we've seen the worst of them.
Fixed a Low Country Boil, a good end to summer.  We're actually going to see temperatures in the low 80's and high 70's by weekend, I'm gleeful.
Took down most of my summer decorations, got out the fall foliage and fall dishes.
We were supposed to go to Atlanta this coming weekend for our anniversary, right now we're in a holding pattern and may have to move everything to next weekend.  Fingers crossed.

    Irma has me scared. I've never wished so much that all my preparations and supply purchases were in vain.

    Good luck with the storm. Hoping it will head out to sea. I love that color on your wall...what color is it?

      I'm not exactly sure what the color is, we mixed some colors together to get it and it's been long enough ago that we did it that I don't remember what colors they were.

    I type for a chain of Florida hospitals; it will be interesting to see how the workload is when the storm reaches it. Seems like you are making good preparations for "weathering" out the storm.

    I was thinking of you as I read the forecast for areas in your country. Stay safe.

    I have been watching its progress on the TV, and thought of you. Take care.

    I woke up this morning and watched the 6:00 am news and it was all about Irma. They kept saying "185 winds, which is stronger than the tornadoes that hit Kokomo last year." I live in Kokomo. I get it. I am praying Irma fizzles out.

    Hope Irma steers well away from you - I was watching pictures from Puerto Rico and feeling very nervous for the inhabitants there.
