Uh~Oh! My weather radio keeps going off. First the weather "watches" - Now the warnings. I'll probably get blown to the next county or something. XOXO, Me
(Geez, I am such a wuss)...
I remember once that I was scared of a bad storm- and home alone too- Probably about 12 or 13 years old- I called up to the neighbors- The dad answered and heard that i was scared. John said, "Annie, your house is about 175 years old. If a storm hasn't blown it down yet what makes you think this storm will do it?"
You have NO idea how any times in my life I have reflected back on his words.
They really were wise words- John was one of the smartest people I have ever known. My girls all love storms too. (They didn't learn that from me). hehehe
I just heard a rumble --- and it wasn't my tummy! I now have goosebumps all over... Weird, eh?
you are probably getting that awful wind we had down here yesterday...I thought we wre having a tornado! not one rain drop fell, but the skies were black and blue and the wind was over 60 miles per hour
Wait! Wait! Wait! Be sure you have a torch with you! The last thing you want is for the power to go off & be in the dark. Is it safe for you to have candles around? I mean, places you can reach but you won't knock down?
Lord love a duck...I just woke from a nap in my chair & didn't realize the time. It's either going on 3 or 4a where you are. You're probably sound asleep...I hope.
Wish I could trade places with you. The other day it rained, & there was thunder... oh my I was excited! & the thing is, I don't think it's EVER rained here in June.
I know exactly where all the candles sit, but have the flashlight ready too. Yes, there are 2 crawlspaces down there that would hold a candle if need be too.
I really think it has gone a bit north of here. I hope.
It is still July 2nd here Anna and I am 52 now, I say to Julie am I looking debonaire like George Clooney or Sean Connery yet ? and she say's I'm an idiot Hahahahaha
"John said, 'Annie, your house is about 175 years old. (It's so weak & frail) If a storm hasn't blown it down yet, (it probably will blow it down now.') "
You mean...real live people...are coming over? PUT THEM TO WORK!!
My online grocery delivery was early, & the guy apologized, so I said...well...& he looked at my two garbage bags in the hall & picked them right up. Deja vu all over again. We'd done that once before. (I'd actually sort of shoved them in the way so anyone would trip over them & offer to take them down!)
Do you have a basement?
ReplyDelete... But only when it comes to night storms and spiders. <~;-)
ReplyDeleteSee?
ReplyDelete(Been nice knowing y'all). hehehe
Yes, I do have a basement-
ReplyDeleteAnd you can bet your sweet bippy that I'll get down there *if* the tornado siren goes off!
You'll be fine Anna you're a tough country girl
ReplyDeleteLots of red! Duck!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI am.
But this is one thing that I will never get used to.
I abhor storms at night like this.
XOXO
Me
That "lots of red" is aiming straight for me too!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Me
PS
I'll 'duck' under the beam in the basement.
Be safe Dear!
ReplyDeleteAnd with all that red, it looks like it could be quite a noisy freakin' long time too.
ReplyDeleteOh ugh.

ReplyDeleteyou are probably getting that awful wind we had down here yesterday...I thought we wre having a tornado! not one rain drop fell, but the skies were black and blue and the wind was over 60 miles per hour
ReplyDeleteWait! Wait! Wait! Be sure you have a torch with you! The last thing you want is for the power to go off & be in the dark. Is it safe for you to have candles around? I mean, places you can reach but you won't knock down?

Um. Not to be a wet blanket...but...this could be taken another way.....
ReplyDeleteNemine, I've got some cookies & a milk for you.
Now I'm off to my trundle bed....Zzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteWe had the winds too- Would have been perfect for drying clothes!
They said winds were in excess of 60mph.
We, so far, have gotten none of that. Just a few rumbles thank God
