ANOTHER Hurricane ?

Okay, this is ridiculous.  Gwen, my next-door neighbor and very best friend and I,              along with my brother Wayne and his wife Bridget have a LONG-planned cruise leaving out of Mobile Saturday morning.......maybe.  Seems after my last trip down south a couple of weeks ago and having Hurricane Gustav run me out of town with a mandatory evacuation that I would have paid my dues by now.  But no, here comes Ike full steam ahead.  All we can do is keep an eye on the storm and the other eye on Carnival's website for any changes.

 

Oh yeah, we've got a big plan!  When we dock at port upon our return, we are going directly to the beach for 3 MORE days.  Dropping the brother and with 2 or 3 more gals joining us, this could be a great time.  Hear that, Ike......GO AWAY!

 

In line with keeping the faith, I have done laundry all day today and gone through paperwork to get ready to pack.  It will be a seriously busy week.  Work, work, work, take Mom to Wally World, get nails done (a priority!), go to bank, finish packing and load up that car.  On Friday morning, I even get to drive 2 1/2 hours each way to get to attend  a Grandparents Day breakfast at my oldest granddaughter's school in LaRue County, KY .  I think I'll be busy alright.

 

Keep your fingers crossed for us that Ike dissipates or turns some other way and I may even get the car loaded in time to leave.  Maybe not, too.
