Waiting on Hurricane Florence

Well, now it is a waiting game for Hurricane Florence.  Jane has already contacted us because Elon is not having classes and told the students to go home.  Really?????? So Jane is a bit freaked out and doesn't want to come here (we are 40 miles East of Elon) so I think she is going to Ohio with friends.  I encouraged her to avoid the East coast.  Anywhere West or South might be better.

Amy is packing up to go west to Tryon, NC to go to her highly anticipated World Equestrian Games ~ but she is worried about leaving me here alone with her dog and the birds.  We will be fine.  I have a full tank of gas in my car, bought 3 extra bags of ice, have my lanterns out and ready to go.  Batteries for the flashlight. I went to the library and have a bag of books for no power. 

I will fill the sinks and tubs with water.  And then, wait and watch.

Lines at the gas station on Tuesday ~ storm is supposed to hit Thursday night or Friday.

Extra ice for the Yeti for when and if the power goes out..

Books for entertainment.  Can't depend on the kindle if there is no power to recharge.

All my lanterns that I have collected.  And people thought they would never be used.

And of course there is Fireball, oreo cookies.  Bread and peanut butter.  We will survive.

Hope everyone else is ready to go.

Much love,
Leslie
