hunkered down

so the northerners are staying. at least luci & i are staying. clay flies out to start a trip tomorrow...flight leaving at 8:57a. he's headed to phoenix & then newark so he'll be fine. all of our friends/neighbors are staying so i'm not too worried. we might slumber party somewhere because it looks like the storm will be at its worst in the middle of the night on friday...we've had lots of generous offers (as clara would say, love 'ya'llguys') and may be taking up one lucky family on their offer.

clay has moved all of our 'projectiles' into the garage, and we've got enough canned peas, canned corn, granola bars, canned tuna, canned salmon, water & chef boyardee to last for days. we even have enough to share ;)

the worst news for today is that i have ridiculously painful stomach ache...so birthday dinner take 2 had to be postponed. boo.

i leave you with a shot of luci that uncle sunidh took with his fancy schmancy camera...he titled it 'lucirunway'.


and i'll keep you posted until my internet inevitably goes down!

what is with Luci and bruises on her head????? That poor, sweet little girl...she much certainly be adventurous....(not sure if that's how that's spelled or not) Been thinking about you a lot and will be praying that the storm does minimal damage....hopefully none!!!

can opener!!! don't forget a can opener. the old-fangled-hand-cranky kind. would be a shame not to be able to eat those peas. you probably thought of this already, but gustav took my power for a while.
