Here we go!


Looks like we're in for some wild weather here in the Mid-Atlantic. Hoping everyone stays safe as Irene blows through. We're expecting the worst here in Virginia tomorrow evening. Hopefully by then Irene will have downgraded a bit. We're about two hours inland so we won't get the worst.....Prayers for all our coastal friends and family.

See ya! Be safe everybody!

Update Saturday morning: so far, so good. We are experiencing a rather gentle rain this morning. A little windy. Took our two very reluctant dogs for a walk this morning while it wasn't too bad -- knowing that there will be no walking this afternoon! We're predicted to get our worst here around 4 this afternoon. If we can keep our electricity I will be quite happy and grateful --- no "Pioneer Woman" here.

Update Sunday afternoon: We did ok. Never lost electricity more than a few minutes -- lucky us! Most people did. We did lose cable last night and it just came back up. Beautiful day today. Poor S-I-L works for the power company....he's very tired -- came in at 6 a.m. and had to back out at 2 p.m. It will be like this for a few days I guess.

Hope all my blogging friends from the east coast are doing well.
