September 2011

Well, September is here and I thought maybe we had been lucky enough to have missed any Hurricanes that had developed. No no no, here comes tropical storm Lee and we are under a warning and our Governor has called for a state of Emergency. Oh darn. Right now it is pretty calm. Dark, but dreary. I have the fridge loaded with cold drinks and water. Guess we have propane and I gathered all the flashlights and counter lights. Looks like it won't get here until tonight. Randy has secured the yard. Sorry, birds...but Randy had to bring in all your food for now.
So for now we will just wait and see.

Back to September(and I don't like the way it is starting). There are some Birthdays this month, Sarah  Dewing and Amy Cousineau. Happy Birthday. I am still trying to collect, Back to School pictures. They are coming slowly.  Please continue to post them.

A friend of ours, Cindy Hodges had a stroke on Wednesday this week. She is improving and I hope to keep everyone updated. She is a close friend of my sister's and Mike is very close to Tom. We all went to High School together. Cindy has no children, but she has unofficially adopted mine and Carole's. Good luck Cindy.

For those of you who don't know the Murray's. Billy is the son of one of Bob's cousins. Bill Murray and his wife Gayle introduced Bob and I. His son Billy and daughter Heather just happen to be about the same ages as my kids, Kristin and Bobby. Billy plays some of the same games as I do, so we just happen to keep in touch.  Billy and Julie have been trying to adopt for some time now and after some horror stories, they finally have a beautiful daughter, Lianne. They are two of the happiest people I know right now. Congratulations once again. Billy lives in D.C. and Heather lives in Fresno. Their parents lived in Pleasant Hill when Bob and I met.

Now for a few pictures...Katie Madsen, Grant Faircloth, Bay Watkins and Ella Grace Smith, all starting school...Out of time, but more later
