We are all okay......
Lot's of wind and rain....lost cable for an hour (Oh the HORROR!) but other than that...we're fine...it actually hit in Ft Lauderdale...I'll have to call my Dad to see how he made out as he lives down that way...I am so glad this was minor...I'd have hated to put off my trip...
Manisa gave me this really great link for something called "MotoMail"...It's a service that they have for the military men deployed to Iraq...You write an email, then it send it...then someone at the base prints out all the emails and hand delivers them to the people...Kinda cool...It even tells you when they've downloaded it for delivery...Patrick said he could use some Razor's and Shaving cream and that sort...the kind they use at the bases aren't all that great...Trying to think of anything else he might need as well...Any suggestion's????? Oh and he does want a HUGE jar of peanut butter and some crackers! hahahaha...I had to laugh at that one cause he and I are peanut butter-aholics eat it right out of the jar with a spoon...
I miss that kid....Oh do I miss that kid!
Hope we get a break in the weather so my squirrel freind will come back...Yup...we have an "Adopted" girl squirrel...Everyday she and I have a ritual if you will..(Been doing this for months-just thought I"d mention it here)...She comes up to the kitchen door (Right up to the glass) and puts both front paws on the glass and looks in....When she see's that I know she's there...I grab up the bag of peanuts we keep just for her and go out side...I hand one to her and put a few on the floor...I am the only one in the house she will do this for...What's really cool is the other day I went outside to get Glen in for dinner...I saw her sitting over by my car...I called out to her and did the "Come on" wave with my hand and SHE FOLLOWED ME! right into the patio where I got the peanuts and gave her one...Peanuts are always on our grocery lists...I am the only one she apparently trusts...She's let Mike give her peanuts from time to time but it's easy to tell that she's easier with me...We don't let the kids do this as this is still a wild animal and we don't want them to do something wrong and they get bit...But it's kinda cool...
At any rate...Coffee is finally waking me up and I need to hit the showers and get my day started...Take care all!!!!!

Cool! My uncle used to have one trained that way as well. He had a jar lid tacked to a post on his fence, and every day put some peanut butter in it. His little friend would come down,eat, and "talk" with him for about 10 minutes.
Really interesting to see, especially for an 8 yr old ( which is what I was at the time!)
