Hello, Dolly

Just when we thought we’d escape unscathed, Hurricane Dolly has hit Texas and is on its way inland and northward.

We had two major rainstorms yesterday and another two around 5:00 a.m. Rain was coming down in sheets from our east-facing windows and I kept checking for leaks and luckily there were none.

It’s getting darker outside and the wind has picked up. I’ve run errands and parked the car as safely as possible. So now all we need to do is wait. Dog just went out before the deluge so she can wait until dinnertime.

Jim is going bonkers playing “hurry up and wait” with potential jobs and new recruiters. Frankly he’s driving me nuts being underfoot 24/7 for so long! He’s sick of being at home and wants to go out and do something. I suggested playing “reporter,” driving to the thick of the storm and taking a photo of each other standing on a windy and rain-soaked street while hanging on to an inside-out umbrella and clutching a post for dear life. Luckily he turned me down!

Take care. Will be in touch, perhaps with good photos. Dee

  1. Just bring a ziplock bag for your camera!! :-)

  2. No way, I’m staying indoors from my great perch!

  3. Ha ha, I just HOPE some of that rain makes its way northward up here where we desperately need it!

  4. We have on- and off-rain and T-storms forecasted for tonight and all day tomorrow. Looks like the bulk of it missed us by a bit… so far.

    Frig is out again. Just got 40# of ice to pack around things in freezer and frig until tomorrow. Yes, we’ll use zip top bags. Wish us luck.
