Current Situation

We'll it looks like we are in for another Labor Day hurricane!  Two years ago we had Hurricane Irma and now we are dealing with Dorian.

What started out late last week as a tropical storm, no big deal, has turned into a major storm.  Even for us who live 120 miles inland from the expected landfall our biggest fear is rain, wind and tornadoes. 

Girl M. and I will be evacuating to our Son & Daughter In Law's home about 20 miles farther West.  Us Girls and the dogs will have to handle whatever comes because both Sons & Dear Hubby all have to work.  We got this!

Remind me again why we live in Florida!


All sewing has been put on hold while hurricane preparations are being done.  I'm sure when the storm is over we will have many days without power.  We have a generator but rough camping doesn't help the sewing mojo.

Keep us in your prayers

Until next time..................

    Batten the hatches and sit tight. Even here in the panhandle of Florida we are checking generators and water and stock of "hurricane" food. Praying it doesn't cross Florida and go into the gulf.

    You and your family are in my thoughts. Living in South Africa I can not imagine what you must endure during a hurricane. Be safe.

      Thank you, I thought the wait was worse than the storm until it turned into a major category 5 hurricane. Now it just needs to hurry and move away, far, far away!

      We are still in a wait and see mode. This must me the longest, slowest storm ever! I hope it stays off the coast and moves away quickly.
