Happy Homecoming !.. it’s homecoming weekend.. lots of events planned.. some of which are on hold because of the weather. Diane and I had signed up to help cook today at the field. It was a hoot because there was such a strong wind. We were flipping burgers (until I admitted that I hadn’t eaten a burger since 1976).. The wind was blowing plates, cups and foil all over.. I ended up playing the outfield.. chasing down errant paper pates and such. Kept me busy !. We were joking that our burger joint would be called “Windy’s” .. (as in Wendy’s.. ok. you had to be there.. )

We’re now sitting in the house waiting for the relics of Hurricane Issac to come sweeping in..We’re expecting heavy rains and strong winds.. Everything’s canceled for tonight.: he party we were going to, the dance at the school. People are battening down. it reminds me a little of the wait for Irene. .. Like Irene.. it kinda looks like the danger is overstated.. right now it’s just a gentle rain and no wind. .. It was like that with Irene… it wasn’t until the next day that I fully appreciated what had happened here.

So.. we’re just waiting out the storm… keep dry everyone !

 

nite all, nite sam
