Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

We weathered the storm with a bit of roof damage, more tree limbs down and a messy yard, but we only lost power for less than an hour. I fell asleep about 11pm and was awakened at 3am by the sound of a limb falling on the roof. About that time the power went out, but before I could distribute candles around the house, it came back on. It's still very windy, but the sun is starting to peek out.

I've mentioned before that I operate a part-time sign rental business...well, I'm pretty much out of business now. The wind destroyed half of my signs. But truthfully, I started that business several years ago to offset the cost of sending the kids to the local Christian school. Jacob has already graduated and Elizabeth will in a few months, so the signs served their purpose. My back is getting too old to do all that lifting, anyway. Still, I have to clean up the mess they left behind. LOL

I appreciate all the prayers and well-wishes! Hopefully, those of you farther north won't have as much wind to contend with. Still praying for those in Florida whose lives were upended yesterday.

The plant is closed today, so it's time to start cleaning up the yard. I hope y'all have a great day! :D

Merry Thursday, Brad!
So glad you and your family are safe!
I hope the clean-up is goes by fast and that you can enjoy part of your day off!

Merry Thursday, Holiday!!
It's nice that Jim enjoys farming so much! How long will it take to do 40 acres?

Oh gosh! Sorry you have been going through that. Doesn't sound like much fun!! I guess that's one way to get your garage cleaned up! UGH! o_O
Hope you're having a good day!

Thanks.... we believe we took care of most of them.. still some stragglers remaining but we have been killing them as we see them and we have been seeing less and less each day. I think by the time we are done we will have tossed out more then half of stuff in the garage. Once the garage is done I will be reorganizing the kitchen cabinets as I don't see me storing stuff in the garage like we used too. It has been an eye opening experience for sure.

I have a wonderful Christmas station programmed into my Pandora account and I too have been listening in my car for about 2 weeks now. I have to drop my husband off at his truck at 5 am every morning and it comforts me as I drive to my own job afterwards xoxo
 
Merry Friday MMC ~
We had remnants of Hurricane Michael pass through last night but it’s already tapering off. It’s going to clear up this afternoon and we’ll have a high of 67 degrees. I have an appointment today with the catering hall to go over the final details of my daughters bridal shower, it’s one week away from tomorrow. I also have plans to go out for lunch with my mother. Other than that I will be working on the laundry. That’s about it. I hope everyone has a nice day!!!

Have fun finalizing bridal shower plans and lunch with your mother.
I checked Carolinas water table last night before I went to bed and there was a tiny bit of water in it. This morning when I woke up it was filled to the top.
 
Happy Friday! Tonight there is work for me. Somehow I got the entire weekend off and dont have to be back in until Monday morning. Tomorrow my church is having a fall festival. There is also another fall festival near my best friends home that she invited us to. I am not sure which one we will attend since Mike doesnt seem to be interested in attending either one. I dont know what Sunday has instore for us yet, but I'm sure it will be relaxing. It's supposed to be in the 50s all weekend. I'm so excited for the cold. Have a great day

Sorry to hear about the signs and hope the roof is not too bad.
Have a great Friday and weekend, Brad!
 
TGIF! We woke up to heavy rain perfect day to sleep in but it should be stopping this morning. My oldest daughter has a soccer game tomm morning and then she has Homecoming tomorrow night so we will be busy with that. We will be relaxing on Sunday. Looks like we will have some cooler weather, which is fine with me I am ready for fall!
Hope you all have a good day and weekend!
