Our favorite redneck has an empty rental house that he just remodeled and it's empty right now so he said we were welcome to stay there with Miss Kitty. So if it looks like it's going to be really bad here that's what we'll do. The house is about 40 miles inland and hopefully that will be far enough from the heart of the storm to keep us safe. We should know by Sunday morning what we need to do.
Our new licenses came in the mail today. Mac's picture looks great, mines ok. When we first moved here and got licenses the DMV contacted me and said I'd have to have my picture retaken it was so bad. I thought they were kidding because driver's license pictures are always bad. But they were not kidding I had to have it retaken. So I'm glad this one is ok.
Mac is busy studying the manual for the new generator we got and trying to find a place to put it, it gives off carbon monoxide so you have to be careful about its placement.
Time to fix lunch, hope you're having a good day, it's beautiful here.
Thinking of you. I hope that Irma has lost some of her strength by the time she reaches you. Seeing the pictures on our television is quite terrifying. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHope that Irma hurtles back out to sea rather than crossing inland. Stay safe.

I have been worrying about you! You are taking the generator with you, right? Even 40 miles in, you could be out of electricity there. I hope your house freezer isn't full. Please don't take any chances, I've grown quite fond of you!
ReplyDeleteWe will take it with us, as well as some fold up chairs and a mattress as there's no furniture there. Thank y o u for your kind thoughts.
DeleteBe safe and damage free...hope Irma avoids landfall.
ReplyDeleteI texted my last horrible license photo to my daughter, and she texted back that it looked like I was 'ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille.' LOL My current license photo is just a floating head as I unknowingly wore a blouse the exact color of the photo backdrop! :)
Stay safe dear Janet. Praying for you that all goes OK...Pat xx
ReplyDeleteIf you do leave I hope you will not be caught in a 405 traffic jam !
ReplyDeleteBe safe and dry !
cheers, parsnip xx
Be safe, whatever that requires.
ReplyDeleteIt must be so tough having to pack up and leave but the important thing is to stay safe. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Irma will change direction and not do too much damage. Stay safe.
ReplyDeletetake care.Hope it has petered out a bit by the time it hits Georgia.
ReplyDeleteThe waiting game has to be difficult--especially as there are updates of devastation in the places already hit by Irma. I hope to hear that you've weathered the storm safely.
ReplyDeleteHope you take care and hope for safety wherever you decide to go. Best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, didn't realize how close you are to Irma. So glad you have a place to escape if necessary.
ReplyDeleteDMV picture have a way of making us look like "Wanted Posters" HaHa. Stay safe. Will say prayers for you.
You had to have your picture made again for your driver's license? They probably couldn't handle your great beauty!
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with you regarding the hurricane. Praying for you and all in the path of the storm.
The calm before the storm at your place. Glad you have a backup plan to leave should you feel the need to leave.
ReplyDeletebetty
Such a worrying time for those in the path of this storm. I hope you stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI am anxious for you both but glad that you have a little bolt-hole that you can, if necessary, escape to♡
ReplyDeleteI thought about you when I heard the latest news. I pray that you will be safe.
ReplyDeleteSince I started following this storm about four, five days ago it has changed direction enough to make me go from "Oh, this hopefully won't be too bad for us" to "Holy $h!t." It almost looks like the eye will go right over my house. Waaaahhhh! Hopefully, it will veer further to the west to it won't impact you (or us) as much.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest son lives in Tampa, but luckily he's in Ohio on a business trip.
Whatever you do, stay safe.
Glad you have a backup plan to leave should you feel the need to leave.
