Kiki's Hurricane Hurrah & Fire Function

[Kiki]

So glad you're okay. fingers crossed for no damage at it continues to pass.

How is grandma, Keeks?

Grandma made it to Lafayette last night.
The clips I am seeing on the news of Lake Charles look bad.
I'm going to wait to call her later this afternoon to find out when or if she can go home.

I just think they're messy. But I was never a fan of inanimate things you were supposed to pretend were alive, not even as a child. Not creepy, just boring. People like all sorts of things though, and who am I to judge?

There is nothing like an old bear buddy knowing you from your early days to listen to your childhood woes. Bear hugs and all.

The property behind me is full of half pine trees from Katrina. Aka hurricane missiles

I have a long line of pines on the east side of my house. Any one of them will cut my house in half. I’m glad the wind has shifted. The chickens are having a good time picking at all the crap that’s getting blown into the runs.
Oops, there went the neighbors power line.

Our weatherman was saying that Lara is tied for the worst hurricane to hit Louisiana. Tied with the hurricane of 1856 that hit last island.
Last Island was a ritzy resort area in the gulf of Mexico. The hurricane that hit it in 1856 washed both the island and all the people on it away forever.
Interesting and horrifying story.

The first thing I did after Katrina is remove a pine tree from my back yard. Like you said hurricane missiles and I like my house, don't want it cut in half, thank you.

Just lost my power line and a neighbors oak fell across my driveway so I’m stuck here till I get that cut up.

Damn

Well, I knew that about myself already, but I suppose that it's always good to have more proof, should I ever begin to doubt my weirdness.
Seriously, though, the Dawg is right -- who calls them "stuffies?"

At our house, "stuffies" are dog plushes - and fair game for destruction. Luckily, Crazy Dog knows the difference and only tears up her own. Apparently, they're a lot more fun when the stuffing has been meticulously removed, leaving just the shell. I swear, as destructive as that dog is, she has the delicate touch of a surgeon when de-stuffing a new toy!

I hope you have a usable chainsaw

I'm watching the news.
Grandma's town might be toast.

I am SO glad she managed to get out!
