IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN . . . ARE YOU READY?


This is my husband on our neighbor's tractor. ("Hi, babee! You good-lookin' thang, you! ;)

This photo was taken some time after hurricane Ike blew through and we were 'allowed' back on our property. Our yard was a mess, but God was very good to us. We ended up getting a new roof outta the deal. That's not bad. Friends of ours were johnny-on-the-spot offering their help. That meant more to us than they will ever truly know. The place was cleaned up lickety-split with all of us working. (Ahem, ummm I don't think I did much work in the yard, though. Gotta be honest about that. But it was fun watching and taking pictures! :)

Anyway, it's that time again - hurricane season! We love it. We hate it. Mostly we just dread it. Evacuation can be like a mini-vacation most of the time, and lots of memories can be made. We've got good ones and bad ones. (The bad ones don't bother us any more, and the good ones are treasured!) Not knowing for sure if we should pack the school books and pictures and my Grammy's 3 little fishies hanging over my shower is quite nerve racking, to say the least. Of course, we always find ourselves wondering if this is the year the Gulf of Mexico will decide to grow larger by swallowing up our home! (Hey, look! There goes Rod and Staff English 8 and Saxon 87 floating right on by!)

Oh, well. I never liked grading that stuff anywho. ;)
