Hi friends I miss you all so much.
Drove my dogs and cat around in the car for a little while just to feel some air conditioning.
Made it to a Home Depot yesterday after 45 minutes of winding around and making upturns because of trees down. (Usually takes me 7-10 minutes to get there.) to get another hand saw and went back home and got back to work.
It’s hot as heck today, day 6 with no power, not being a whiner but I’m ready for some electricity in my part of town. The heat is making me feel sick when I try to work to clear debris in my yard.

Little bit of stuff starting to open up in “monkey junction” area.
A couple of gas stations up there have gas. Two food stores are letting small groups of people in.
Mc Donald’s and Chick-fil-A are open
drive through, limited menu, every one is still cash only.

Gasoline and diesel fuel trucks being escorted by national guard or state troopers.

Oh and DH has an awful cold but is working his butt off at work.

Other than that we are all good.

Please continue to keep all those who are far less fortunate than I, in your thoughts and prayers that help gets to them soon.
Thanks for the update!

I hope the cold and work are better soon
 
No tv show, i am not photogenic.

They could just show your hands....it could be like your "thing"!



Super happy to know Stacey made it through so far!
:celebrate


I pulled out 4 zucchini plants, 1 tomato plant, a bunch of weeds and some cucumber plants.
I got a grocery bag of green beans picked and some other stuff.

Kinda makes me frustrated to grow stuff and have the family refuse to eat it.
They eat it store bought for crying out loud!

I will admit the beans I cooked the other night were a bit tough.
I forgot how much longer it takes to properly cook fresh ones.

So glad you're doing well, even though now you're in a swampy sauna. I hope they get you hooked up w/ power soon. Watch out for snakes! I read somewhere that the storm stirred them all up and they may be hiding under debris. Do you at least have running water? I assume you're in the city (city water), but doesn't mean the plant is running. Stay safe & thanks for checking in so us worriers can stop worrying for 10 seconds.

:gig

They were just trying to save you!
[chickens in a disgusted voice]: Ugh.. Mom NEVER appreciates the things we do for her!




We barely BARELY got any rain. We actually got way more from Gordon, it rained here for days and days, but this time, nothing. Not complaining, suvivor's guilt, I guess. Everywhere else got it so bad that I feel kinda guilty, but appreciate it at the same time.
Oh, and I'd tossed sand in my run and the green moldy stuff just decided to cover the sand. I'm going to have to get in there and rake stuff around I guess. Scrape off the top layer.. I was trying to avoid that.

Maybe some stall dry or ag lime will get rid of the green crud......

Just thinking it may work. Not sure if it will work though.
