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 [...]

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 [...]

With Hurricane Igor bearing down on the island, this was one of the only days we had to be sightseers and enjoy the ferry system. With the expected rough waters, we’re pretty sure the ferries will be shut down at least by Saturday and the ocean will be so rough we won’t even want to [...]

Brock and I set out this morning for our walk. Darin told us to stay off the Railway Trail so we hit to the streets and tribe roads. Then we skipped over to South Shore, down to Chaplain Bay, then over to Horseshoe Beach….ahhhh!! For the first time in my life, I climbed up the [...]
