OMG.......this morning the rains awakened me prior to 7am......and so I quietly exited the bedroom so as to not awaken the 1st Lady. BUT......the winds of Ike began to roar....literally, the trees bowing down to the furies of Ike....and the limbs and leaves and twigs began flying through the air, and the leaves were actually pasted onto the sides of the stick and brick!!!! WOW....did those winds ever blow.......and for quite a length of time!!!!
And then........the electricity went down.......and for almost seven hours, we were without the modern conveniences of technology: A/C, a working fridge, the computer, the phones(cells were working), microwave, etc., etc., etc., etc. And sooooo, after Ike decided to say "good-bye", the 1st Lady and I worked for awhile in the yard picking up the limbs, twigs, and other debris. But, for the most of those 7 hours, we laid around and read our novels. Not boring......but, we continued to wonder just when we would be returned to the 21st century with our needs being met by the miracle of electricity.
When we finally had the marvelous power running through the wires once again......we soon found ourselves doing some needed things online.......some ordering, some bill paying, some communicating. Ahhhhhh......we felt soooooo much better!!!
And so.....the rest of the day and this evening have been spent doing not toooooo much of anything of value. I fixed a bite to eat: BLT's with homegrown tomatoes, corn-on-the-cob that was picked yesterday.....and some dark red medicine to assist with the health of my heart.
A relaxing day.....after Ike left us......and a relaxing evening. All in all it was testimony to the fact that......
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
