HURRICANE SEASON 2007

Today is the first day of hurrican season and would you believe on the first day we have our first named storm of the season, Barry. It is only and expected only to be a tropical storm and has brought us rain already which is wonderful. It could spawn some tornadic activity and cause some water swells along the Gulf coast. It should be moved out of the area by the first of the week. Rain, sweet rain, keeep coming down.

Today was a good but busy day. I started out at 8 a.m. taking friends to the airport in Tampa. At 12:30 I met the Friday girls for lunch at Olive Garden. Soup, salad and wonderful conversation were the menu for the day. We didn't do a movie today. We just talked a lot. It is such a blessed thing for me to have this group of loving women in my life.

I made a brief shopping expedition after lunch and got some new walking shoes. My old ones were not very comfortable and never had been. I wore the new ones all through the store for about half an hour or more before buying them. I think they will work for me.

Now the rain is falling softly and I hope it will induce sweet sleep and dreams tonight. I am going to put some clothes to soak in the washer, take my pills and read. Oh, the blessedness of losing oneself in the joys of reading. Peace to all.
