Monday's here!
How is everyone doing this Monday morning? Well, I hope.
We got up this morning, and turned on the weather channel, first thing, to see what had occured with Wilma over the night. Wilma made landfall just south of Marco Island/Naples area, with 125 mph winds. I dropped Lee off at work, and when I arrived back home, picked up my phone to try and get ahold of Lee's brother, Scott, and his family, that live in Cape Coral, which is just across the river from Ft. Meyers. They are about 45 miles from Naples. Surprisingly enough, I was able to get through to them, on their land line. and they even had power still. Pam said that the electricity had flickered couple of times, but they never did lose power. They did have a generator, so they were somewhat prepared there, had they lost their power. They faired pretty well, just a few small trees that Scott had just planted, that got blown over, and they had neighbors with gutter damage, and a few trees down. Flooding wasn't bad. Scott lives on the canals in Cape Coral, and we were afraid that the storm surges would bring the water up into their back yard, but Pam said that it wasn't too bad, and didn't get much higher than it normally does at high tide. She said that they also had water up to about the middle of their drive-way, but that even that wasn't anymore than what they'd get during a normal thunderstorm. They were also spared the many tornados, that are so often spurred on my hurricanes. So, we are very thankful that they came through this storm, with very little damage, and that they are all safe. ....... wow.... I have the weather channel on, and they just showed a picture out of Naples Fl, of an air conditioner....in the top of a tree!!! Yeah, an airconditioner...and not a little window air conditioner, either... a big one...like you'd have for your house...just sitting in the top of this tree. I think I'd stay away from that for fear that it would come crashing down on top of me. lol Well, at least now that the worst if over, we can relax a little, knowing that Lee's brother, and his family are alright.
It's back to work today. Fun, fun!!!! As usual, nothing that I'm really looking forward to. hahahaha But, guess there's not much I can do about that. lol I guess, other than that, we really don't have much else going on for today...or no other plans that I can think of.
Landon and the boys came over for supper last night. Amanda wasn't feeling very good, and hadn't been all day, so she stayed at home. I fixed my big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, which tasted pretty good, with the chilly evening we had. I think our high yesterday was about 48. Guess it isn't going to be any better today either, as the high is only going to be around 45. By tomorrow, though, they are saying we'll be up around the mid to upper 50's, so that will have to be a little better. As for right now, it is cold outside, and just adds to the fact that I don't want to have to get out in this to go anywhere...much less to work. lol
I don't guess that there's much else going on. Or I'm just not in a very talkative mood this morning...lol....one or the other. hahahaha But, I did wanna drop in and let you all know that we had talked to Lee's brother, and that he is well, and his family safe, after having gone through hurricane Wilma.
I'll be back around her this evening. I hope you all have a great day, and I hope to talk to ya soon!
Take care....
Much love,
Lev
