After 12 hours of sleep, things are looking more clear to me now! The view from the verandah is still wonderful, despite the salt-sprayed, scorched vegetation below. Some trees faired pretty well and others are stripped clean. It almost looks like fall back home with the reddish tints to the dead leaves. Darin & I [...]

Life sometimes throws you some curves. And in this instance, death does as well. Darin and I have found ourselves back in Bermuda only days after leaving the island. Nannie’s sister, Kate, passed away early Monday morning. Fortunately, Mom & Tim were still here and cancelled their outbound flight (again). The funeral is tomorrow. Darin [...]

I had no idea that hurricane damage would reach as far as Oklahoma! Wow…did you see that pile of stuff! It took me ALL day to get clean clothes in their proper place, dirty clothes through the washer, suitcases stored away and the mail sorted through. I’m almost sure that Igor came home in one [...]

Wow…can you believe I’m writing this while flying across the United States somewhere over Georgia? Or is it Tennessee? By the time I get done it will probably be Oklahoma!

It was like waking up in a new location! The winds are calm, the birds are singing, the traffic is on the road and there are no white caps on the water. However, I was quickly brought back to reality because the transformer is still on the ground!

Today started a little earlier than I had planned. I woke up at 3:00 a.m. because everything was too quiet! The room had gotten warm and all I could hear was the hum of the ceiling fan in the kitchen. I got out of bed and looked out the slits in the shutters and the [...]

Well, we’re either ready or we’re not. The day started with wind and rain. By 9:15 a.m. our power was out due to the first hard squall line. The power came back on within 5 minutes according to the neighbor but we had the generator up and going by then (I believe we were called [...]

This is the final, final day of preparations! The groceries and supplies had to be bought by yesterday as all the stores closed today. We also heard that the airport took it’s last flight out this morning and the Causeway (the bridge to the airport and St. George’s) has been shut. Today was just the [...]

This is our day of final preparations for Hurricane Igor. By tomorrow, the stores shelves will be empty and the wind will become so harsh that they probably will close the Causeway and the airport. I’m pretty sure we won’t be taking the mopeds out very far from home due to the extreme winds. We [...]

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY BROCK AND BRAEDEN!!! Wow…I now have 4 teenage boys in my house! I was thinking about scheduling a nervous breakdown…maybe a creampuff or two to take away the sting? I woke the boys up this morning and told them to behave themselves, shut their mouths and stop acting like teenagers! I told [...]
