Last we spoke I was dealing with health issues. Those seem to be doing just fine now thankfully!

My reason for not posting this time was a hurricane. Gustav (or rather the people charting Gustav) kept changing their tunes about where he was headed and we just decided to leave. They did finally make it mandatory but I was out of there either way.

We evacuated and stayed with some of my family in Calera, Alabama. I got to see my mamaw and had my kids farmed out around with friends and family. I love everyone but I so hated to be away for those 6 days. Everything is harder when you are living out of suitcases.

Good news is, my house was fine. Only slight wind damage to roofing tiles and the boards under the roofline. Easily fixed. Had to boil water for a couple of days but we had power!

Personally, I’m glad we didn’t stay even if the hurricane wasn’t right on my doorstep. Where I live was on the nasty side which means tornadoes! I’m afraid of those things.

All in all, we are fine. Back to school and trying to get caught up. Add in some fall cleaning and I’ve been so busy I’ve not had a chance to even play with my new sewing toys. I hope to fix that soon!
