I have been keeping an eye on the storm as it gets closer to her. From what I have seen, she will get lots much needed rain; the winds shouldn't be too bad but will hit her area this afternoon.

I live a few hundred miles away from you, Corpsman, here in S. Florida. We've had a little rain and some overcast skies. The storm is very far from us. Katia is supposed to turn north, so it most likely won't affect us either. Most of these storms do head north up the coast and stay over the ocean so we are rarely affected. That being said, once in a while one will head this way. Haven't had a major one here since Wilma in October of 2005. I have a niece and her family near Mobile, AL and I know they must be getting about what you are, maybe more. Stay safe. Sheri

Prosperity, I just had an idea for an easy way to do a wreath. Take some black fabric, tear it in strips three or four inches wide. Now take your scissors and cut from one side only 3/4 of the way to the other side to make a "fringe". Wrap the strip of fabric around the wreath fluffing up the "fringed" part as you go. Secure with straight pins or hot glue. Might not be quite as "fluffy" but would still be cute. You could also just glue something like spanish moss or the shredded paper used for gifts, give it a couple light coats of black spray paint, and you would have a "fluffy" wreath too! Now you all know why I can't sleep well some nights--the brain just keeps churning out "crafty" ideas! LOL Cindy, I hope you find your scissors. I think the little ones would love them. Actually, you could just have straight sides too and it would be fine. It's the eyes and bow and shape that make them cute. Have fun. Luvs P.S. I don't like the ones I did with the glittered edges. The plain ones just seem "nicer" to me.

Great package, and Karen is always so generous. I saw one of those lasagna lifters recently. Will be waiting for your review :-) I make the perfect lasagna according to my all my friends and family. It's the Brooklyn Meat Gravy that I make that makes it so wonderful.

Oh my! I'm just seeing this! Thank you all for the Birthday wishes. My DH, Grands and the only daughter I have living close to us made for a wonderful birthday! There was lots of candy, hot dogs with homemade chili, cheesecake going on here! LOL! It has to be a special day when I get to eat a hotdog. The kids were happy and we gave candy out to about 1000 kids. My daughter lives in a wonderful neighborhood that caters to the trick or treaters. One man said that he had been bringing his children, to this neighborhood, for 10 years! Wow! I've never seen so many children at once! It was loads of fun! Chase, that hunky man of mine would do anything for me but Snake River is now Embers and we don't like it :-(. We are getting a new Casino called Mojito Point that will have a Snake River inside of it! Yay for us! I think it will be about another 1 1/2 years before it's finished... Thank you again my friends for the lovely Birthday wishes.

Looks like she's busy playing Farmville over on FB, so I'm guessing everything's okay!

Funny. Well, that's good.

Lee is actually wrecking havoc over in Texas. We're not getting the rain, but, and this is a very bad explaination, she's pulling moisture from Texas and causing extreme wind gusts. Fires are everywhere. Central Texas has been badly hit. One of our local t.v. channels says 300 homes have burned, but I haven't seen anywhere else writing about that.

Lars, is your family okay? Don't they live somewhere around Austin? The fires are in Bastrop County. Anyone else live where the fires are?

Sally, that was not meant to minimize the problems Texas is having right now. Of course, starting with the worst drought in years didn't help with those fires either.

Elery and I were just discussing over the weekend how he keeps getting rain and more rain and more rain, basements are flooding along with tens of thousands of acres of cropland, while Texas parches. We just can't think of a good way to send it where it's needed.

I didn't at all think you were minimizing the problems in Texas, Annie. I didn't mean to imply that. I actually thought it was funny that Riverrat was playing Farmville, and getting plenty of rain. lol

Hey guys, Thanks for thinking about us. Lee was a much welcomed storm. It hit east of where we live. We had lots of wind and rain but all is ok. I didn't lose power so, of course, we had a hurricane party! Friends were here from Houston and we enjoyed just looking at the much needed rain. Sometimes we even had sideways rain when the wind picked up! It was great! LOL!

Speaking of Texas, the wildfires are so out of control! I've learned this morning that our friends that live in Longview have packed up the really important things and are being evacuated. They have a lovely home on about 8 acres and they may lose it all to the fires.

Thanks again for thinking of us! We still need more rain to get us out of the drought situation. My water bill is killing me!

RR, I'm glad you're safe and got some rain to help the water bill!

Sally, Ashley told me I should join Facebook. I asked why. She said I could have a farm. I told her I already have a farm. She just sighed.
