Frances news.

We're here. We're alive. We've got power. We're mostly sane.

This is the first day since Wednesday or Thursday of last week I have not heard the wind outside whistling or howling. It is not raining either. I hope there will be some businesses open today. We need some food and staples. We went to the Texaco a few miles down the road yesterday, in an attempt to alleviate cabin fever. It was odd. There was a long line outside, and it probably took a half hour or more for Chas and Sean to get through the doors to get soda and a few things. It reminded me of seeing the lines for food in (the now former) communist countries. It was pretty dead outside otherwise. Me? I stayed in the car and looked at myself in the mirror, called a few people to see what was happening with them, logged onto AOL from my phone, and did anything to alleviate the boredom. I think it was more boring being in my car than it was being at home.

Well, I should go snuggle with my huggy bear some more.

Hey, there. I just wanted to do some catching up – it has been harder to make the rounds, considering how my friends list has grown in the past few years. Also, I wanted to encourage you to keep with the thought log, as I’ve adored mine and found it to be therapeutic.

I enjoyed the description, here. I would miss the wind,

Thanks for checking in. I understand the ever expanding friends list. We are just glad we were not hurt and nothing of ours had any damage. We've been very lucky with both hurricanes. :)

Thanks. We lucked out this time. We never lost power and had no damage, other than superficial damage like aluminum siding and a few loose shingles on a few of the buildings.
