So today is the first official day of hurricane season. I used to worry about Jeremy and Mandi in Florida and the storms ( I still do ) but after Ike last year I worry about us just as much. We were without electric for days and that means no water as well. Strange how weather in one part of the country ie. gulf coast can come up our way and do so much damage. There were many homes damaged by wind and rain here in Ohio from Ike. In fact AEP has had to raise rates to help pay for all the overtime crews got paid to restore power to everyone.
Very quiet weekend here. It was so nice out that Pat and I sat on the deck with the dogs quite a lot. Brody is slowly learning and likeing to play ball but not nearly as much as our little Boo did. We miss her! Ali is content to sit on the swing and sun herself. LOL Pat got Brody a new little wading pool and he has ventured in a couple of times. He blows bubbles when he puts his head under the water. Too funny. Mert and Bill stopped over yesterday just to visit. They had been to Raven's Glen for lunch and were out and about on such a lovely afternoon so stopped by for a bit.
