Sweet, beautiful you, Guenie,
Please continue to try to reach her.
I guess I will try to text message her.
I’m willing to buy her an airplane ticket anywhere she wants or needs to go, even out here to stay with me.
Please text her......I don’t text
We were working a Trump table Saturday.......voter regis., etc
I’ve been busy packing and readying the house for the hurricane, and called Joy before I left for Orlando yesterday.
You know she lives beachside
I’m hoping her daughter came for her and the y are heading away.
I am finally catching up on the thread...your comment made me cry...you are such a good “long distance” friend.
I was just working to “button up the house and plan for a driving evacuation with the dog...we did that. Drove over and up to Ocala and then further west and stayed in the car at a Walmart with all the cars and mostly trailers that were there. There was some rain along the way but nothing bad and finally a good sleep. I had put 1/2 of the backseat down and made a cozy, long bed for us.
Morning came to good news that the storm had passed the area here in Brevard, but bad news that it was going to hit northern areas harder.
I drove on to near Cedar Key and then down to Tampa. Hearing the Bridge on the causeway near me had opened, I continued my circular route back to Orlando and on to Melbourne beachside. Saturday as we returned we formed a gang and cleared house after house together!
It took 3 days to bring furniture in and put on all window and door coverings. Branches that rubbed the pool screening had to be cut down and I may never have as many as 15 hanging baskets again. All the furniture and beds were covered and small items boxed up for safety. Now it may take longer to put it all back in place.
I had not planned so many years alone after my husbands death...he is greatly missed. We would have made it a great adventure.
I am going to watch the projections for a return blast! Probably just a tropical storm, but where is it to come ashore this time?
Those who stayed on my street said power never failed but the sound and flying debris was intense! Family would not accept my staying so I went!
Thank You, All, for your concern and I am thankful for FR FRiends every day.
