DDA Chapter 27

[PNO4TE]

Hello, DDA!

We are back and the trip went so well. Bob was a super hero in all he did!! I have no fear about traveling with him any more!!

Of course, we came home following the earthquake. No major damage at our house: a few things fell off shelves and the fireplace; pictures askew and lampshades all cockeyed. The dog was fine and the house is fine, so it was a good homecoming!

Glad to hear it Elin!

Elin that's great. I'm sure it was a huge accomplishment for Bob



We are closely watching the weather forcast. It looks like Irene may come through our backyard. None of the models have it missing us. We are praying that the cold Atlantic waters break it down and there is someland mass before it gets to us. I don't think there's been a hurricane in our area since the 40s. Certainly not in my lifetime.

Elin -I'm so glad you had a good trip!! Yay Bob!! Thankful too that you didn't have Nt real quake damage. Hope the same goes for Tammi.

Deb - Hope the storm leaves you all alone! (Everyone else in the path as well.)

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Anne Marie-The pictures from your trip are great! I love hearing about all the trips!

Elin-Glad Bob did well on the trip! The earthquake was crazy, im happy there is no major damage.

Deb-People around here are all talking about the earthquake and hurricane! Stay safe

Good morning! Im headed to work to help the new teacher out a bit and then goign to my best friends house to see the baby..tonight, 7 of us teachers are going out to the melting pot--we planned this months ago as our big night out before school starts!

Have a great day

Good morning!

 

[my3princes]

Good Morning DDA!! I hope that everyone stays safe this weekend. I know that many of us are east coasters. Get you emergency kit together. Even if we are spared this storm we'll need it in a few months when the Nor' Easters move in

Batten down the hatches...

Very true Deb!!!

We are to get rain & wind here but that's all that is projected. However I was in Walmart this morning looking for flashlights & they were totally wiped out.

Post-Disney funk has set in (as usual) here. Even with the heat & crowds I still would rather be there.

 

[bear74]

stay safe all of you. We are entering our 70+ day of triple digit temps. with no rain in site.

 

[tmfranlk]

Stay safe everyone!! I think this might be the one time I'm glad we're not in Boston right now.

 

[bear74]

the kids are asleep and Jeff's at work. Is anyone around to chat?

Sorry, Jennifer!

Stay safe everyone in Irene's path!

I get to have my heart torn out the second time this week as we take Matthew back to college today. Yes, I'm feeling a bit over dramatic this morning and realize it. It is so hard, though.

The great news is that Laura seems to be settling in very well up there and has talked about doing things with other people. She needs to go to the physics building this morning and beg to be allowed into the only lab that fits into her schedule. If you see this, I'm sure she could use any prayers and pixie dust you want to send her way. I don't know what the plan is if she can't get into it.

Also, we will get to see her for a few minutes today. I guess that's one of the perks of having both at the same school. It's good for her, too, since there were a few things that she forgot that we'll take up there.

 

[PNO4TE]

Beth - It does get easier, my friend.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

No eggs, bread or milk were purchased by this household. We had some of all those things and I have no desire to try to keep them cold if the power goes off! We have all the "food" Bob needs. I have food I can eat. The dog has food she can eat. We have water. Cell phones and laptops are charged and all the things that were outside are either in the house or all bungee-ed together. We also bought a car charger for our cells and filled the tank with gas. I think we are set. The rain has just started but I don't see any appreciable difference in wind yet. Here we go! Stay safe, everyone!

Thanks, Elin!

Stay safe! We aren't supposed to get too much out of this, because we are just west enough. Maybe 2-5" of rain and some winds. There is always the possibility of power outages, but I don't think it's too likely. We have what we need if we do lose power, though.

Laura went in and talked to the woman that she needed to in the physics department. She was very nice, did something on the computer, and told her that should could no register. She went back to her computer, and she still can't register. She has to be at a mandatory volunteer thing all day and can't do anything about it now. A little pixie dust, please, that it goes through later. Oh, and this is all further complicated because it's a Syracuse University course.

The rain started here about 45 minutes ago. No wind yet.
