Good morning everyone,

We called off our TOPS meeting this morning because we didn't know where the Hurricane would be, but at this time the sun is shining. It's supposed to start raining later today and the hurricane will come thru later tomorrow. It's expected to land south of us, but we will get the wind and rain from it. It's a madhouse around here. People are trying to get things to be ready for the storm and the stores are sold out. And the highways out of here are so crowded that it's dangerous to be on them. It takes hours longer for people to get where they are going. We're staying home and praying for it to downgrade to a lesser hurricane. It's moving slowly so that means there will be a lot of rain and flooding.

I've been very busy lately and haven't been on to keep up with everyone. I got my cabinets finished and have started on the floor. I scraped up all the old vinyl floor covering and my son said that he would put down tile for me, but I want to enlarge the door to the kitchen first and with the storm, I haven't gotten anyone in for estimates. Also, I worked at the election polls, Tuesday and that wears me out for a few days. We have to be there at 6 AM and don't finished until about 7:30 PM.

I hope that you are all doing well. I hope to do better when I get my mindset again.

I've got to get going. I still have a lot to do to prepare for the storm.

Nita,
I will be praying that you are safe from the storm. I'm hoping it won't be as strong as they say it's going to be.

It sounds like you have been busy with your projects. Just think how nice it's all going to look when you get finished!

You know, it just occured to me that your approach to the project is sort of like the approach we need to take when losing our weight.

We work on it a little each day. Some day's we have a lot of energy to put into it, sometimes we don't. But we keep at it, even if it's in the looking, thinking, planning stage. We have to work around the obstacles that might come. Find a different way to deal with the problem..but keep working at it.

Just think how nice we will all work when we get done!

Be safe!

Nita I have been thinking about you all day. It looks like we are going to be lucky again. I hope you plan to evauate if it starts heading your way. It can change a lot in the next day as us Florida people know real well. Stay safe as well as any Florida lurkers we may have.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers. The wind is howling and bending the pine trees in back of us here now, but we can still go outside, between the gusts, not much rain yet. The hurricane seems to be stalled off the coast just south of us and is expected to intensify before hitting FL.
Eleni...You are in my thoughts, now. They are predicting it will cross the state and I am concerned that it will be near you. Hopefully, the winds will slow down as they cross the state. And it could change again.

Take care
Nita

I just wanted to pray for all of you that are in Florida.

That is so horrible about the hurricane. I will keep you all in my prayers and thoughts.

Please keep us informed!
