LOL---I could just picture you, and hoosiermama and cajungirl getting together for a "tea" and discussing antiques...
BTW, I heard a weather "expert" on Fox a little while ago say that he wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more hurricanes this year, and at least one more MAJOR cane into the Gulf of Mexico....yikes.
He also mentioned that the reason there is seemingly more "devastation" now, is because in the former "strong hurricane cycle", back in the 70's, 80's, there wasn't as much home developement on the coast...
and he also said that we would likely be in this "heavy hurricane pattern" for another couple of DECADES....so that doesn't bode well for the coastal communties that HAVEN'T been hit yet...
or the rebuilding of the ones that have...
carolinamom loves auctions too...lol.
I think I'm addicted, but (smart, smart me) I have husband hooked on them too...lol. Trouble is, he curtails my buying. He has a GOOD eye for the GOOD stuff. I'll grant him that.
That expert is right on one account for sure: more development means more wreckage.
I am sorry to say, that right now I see clear sky... and I thought we were promised rain for Monday and Tuesday.
