I was in Houston during Carla but my cousins were on the island and their property suffered some severe damage. It's depressing to think about the devastation that might occur over the next 48 hours.

1962. I only remember my Dad talking about it. I was but a wee girl then.

Some good brush burning days coming up!

Yeah, too bad the bigger pile is all green and sweetgum.:( Just looked out the back door and saw two pumpkin sized glowes at the pile. Yeah.............it will burn for days. The coals are under some huge stumps.

Changed oil in the generator this a.m. Thankfully we may have dodged a bullet here North of Houston. Still - you can never be too prepared...

Stay safe and dry all!

Heck, that bottle will last me 6-7 months. Well, as long as the electricity stays on.

May be a long weekend Brandi! Do you have to go to Hobby this weekend?

We're flying to Colorado Springs 8 a.m. next Thursday.

No, I'm off Friday, Sat. and Sunday nights. Just waiting to hear SWA close the Hobby station Monday and Tuesday and maybe Wed. Corpus and Harlingen staions closed earlier today. Then we get paid to watch it rain at home!

My last stop today was to pick up 1.75 L of Crown Royal. Never bought a bottle that big. I did get to burn a huge brush pile as the drizzle started.
hugs, Brandi

I keep a 1.75L bottle of Crown Royal on hand for medicinal purposes, but I now buy the one with Apple flavoring. It works best with one shot in 6 oz. of Coke Zero.

Good in case of a snake bite!
