Small prayer Sunday
Good morning everyoneThe sun is shining, the birds are singing, the wind is blowing creating white horses on the sea and the dark clouds are gathering in the sky so it could mean rain later.
A day of rest is planned for today to recouperate from the energy sapping days that we have just had at our sons. Why is when you visit your kids you always end up doing DIY jobs for them?
Have a great day everyone and say a little prayer for Eileen that she is safe and well after Irene has paid her a visit.

Re: Small prayer Sunday
Good morning all we have a mixture of blue sky, sunshine and grey cloud with a cool breeze which I'm hoping will dry the washing on the line.I've been wondering how Eileen and Leia are today, it's about 6.00am in Washington at the moment and hopefully Eileen is still sound asleep and has missed the brunt of the hurricane.
AB, sounds like you have earned a day of rest!
I couldn't sleep last night, gave up and went downstairs about 3.00am - did a few sudoku puzzles then returned to bed just after 4.00am
Enjoy your day everyone!

Re: Small prayer Sunday
Good morning from across the pond. My iPad kept going off last night with CNN news about the hurricane. I watched an extended special addition on what is ahead for the Northeastern United States last night and it doesn't look good. They've had floods and steady rain for weeks before this hurricane. The 8-10 inches of additional rain plus sustained high winds for 6-8 hours may cause entire power grids to crash to the ground as well as countless numbers of trees standing in super saturated soil. It's going to be a long night and day Sunday. My prayers are with Eileen & Leia.

Re: Small prayer Sunday
Around half a million homes and businesses are without electricity in Washington, I'm hoping Eileen is well and coping alright..... it must be such a frightening situation to be in. She usually comes online about 3.30pm so I'm keeping my fingers crossed there isn't a power outage in her area.http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/...y.html?hpid=z1

Re: Small prayer Sunday
And here I am, alive and well, but tired! Couldn't sleep last night, the wind was howling and the rain just lashing at my big window; the noise was unnerving and I kept wondering if the glass would shatter. But it finally started to abate about 4 :30 am, and I dropped off a bit after 5, so got a few hours sleep.Leia seemed surprised and a bit pleased I was up, awake and turned the TV and cumputer on a few times to check as I was wide awake. Anyhow, it has blown over now, stopped raining and the wind, while still high, isn't as bad; sun predicted by noon or a bit later. And no power loss, thank God; that was worrying me. It was a bad storm, thousands without power in the City and over 200 trees down at last count. It's 22 C (72 F) now, a little after after 10:45.I just got a message that my wireless keyboard batteries need replacing or it may turn itself off, so if I vanish that's the problem; I didn't know it needed batteries or where/how to replace ... calling Chris!!
