Well, we have survived yet another tropical storm. Thankfully for us, Isaac went way west, and is now heading toward New Orleans. It could hit there on the anniversary of Katrina. Scary for them.
We didn't even really have much rain and very little wind. So thankful. I am also enjoying the day off. I slept in (sounds like a recording, doesn't it?). I did a few things I didn't get to yesterday, like some lite dusting, vacuuming and mopped the kitchen. I have some mending to do, and got the sewing machine out to get that done later today. Joe had to work with a client this morning, so it was fun having him get up before me, for a change, and to leave with me still snuggled in bed. LOL
I will say that my sister, in Georgia, called at 6:00 a.m., to see if we were okay. Her call woke me up, but I was happy to hear from her. Then, just dozing off again, a friend from Michigan called to check in, too. That was also okay. I'm happy people are concerned about us. Joe's brother called us last night, and I've had numerous FB messages and notes from friends here. So nice. Thanks!!
I changed my background here from gray to a clear blue sky. We are still getting tornado warnings for parts of the area, but so far Polk County is okay.
Hope you are all having a good Monday as we head into a new month and a holiday weekend! Peace, love & hugs.
I like the blue sky background better than a grey one for sure. I can tell you are enjoying your free day, and you should! I did get a comment from Kris on Sunday...I went back and looked.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. I was just worried about Kris because she rarely misses a day of blogging. Hope her FIL is okay.
DeleteI am thankful you didn't get the storm too badly over your way. Now hopefully it is turn out well for the other states. Have a nice day off....lately I have been a sleepy head and slept in and I think I have to stop it because I am getting too use to it. I had lunch today with my school teacher...she is already getting ready for the new school year...we start back right after labor day.
ReplyDeleteRuth, sleeping in can get to be a habit real fast, but if you can do it, by all means, sleep in! Why not?! LOL
DeleteThat graphic was used recently for the anniversary of last year's big earthquake, that was very mildly felt here in Upstate South Carolina. For many of us, that was our first earthquake ever, and it felt like a train passing in the distance. I didn't learn until later that the train was actually an earthquake. lol
ReplyDeleteAnyway, happy day off to you! Glad you don't have to spend it battening down the hatches!
Thanks, Brenda. This graphic was used after a 'dud' last year, here, too. It's still funny!
DeleteWe're seeing some rain here in Ohio. It sure is welcome.
ReplyDeleteGlad you arrived safely, Brenda! Enjoy your family!
DeleteGood you didn't get much out of the storm. I've had showers off and on today, rare thunder, mild breezy winds. I had today off too, my 2 people cancelled. Got some paperwork and billing done on line, so a productive day here too.
ReplyDeleteGlad is wasn't any worse over there, for you. It was kinda nice having the day.
DeleteGlad you're okay down there. I talked to Vic, he's not too worried. Says they're making it bigger than it is because of Katrina. As far inland as he is, he's only looking for rain and wind. He said he'd call me when it was over.
ReplyDeleteGlad you checked in with Vic. I miss him!! He isn't even on FB anymore. Is he still with Tina? I hope Isaac doesn't hit them too hard. Let me know when you hear from him, please.
DeleteYeah, they're still together. Kinda hard for em right now, he works days, and they moved her to nights. And I'll let you know...
DeleteI really really like this font style... what is it?
ReplyDeleteLanie, it is called Cherry Cream Soda. It came with the template. That's all I can tell you about it.
DeleteSo glad all is well.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are safe! I've had kind of a busy day but productive . It feels good that I had a streak of cleaning mood this afternoon for awhile lol. Goodnight
ReplyDeleteVery glad to hear everything is ok with you!
ReplyDeleteWHEW!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that Isaac stayed clear of you! Keeping the people in New Orleans in my prayers. I keep going to the weather channel to get updates. I can't get over how slow this storm is.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the storm missed you.
