Seriously, why is my mind running through the names and dates of hurricanes at 1:50 a.m. PTSD? I do have a few fun memories of past storms. Hurricane Floyd hit the Keys, Sanibel & Captiva Islands in 1987. I was walking the beach on Captiva a week later with Klaus Moeller when we found a cockatiel bird, sitting on a stone, injured and surrounded by ants. Beach Bum was a cool guy ... I had him for 11 years. There wasn't a bird cage door he couldn't open. Haha. 

Mark finished raking the back yard tree debris so we're ready for our lawn service next week. (He finished the job before I got up at 8 o'clock.) 

This afternoon we went to Walmart and stopped in to see Dawn. She was off today ... we continued on with our shopping. The shelves were still empty of fresh items ... no meats, few veggies, no eggs; strange huh. You'd think 5 days later there'd be plenty. Oh well, we did get a couple of tomatoes and some lettuce. 

You can see Mark and Robbie are both exhausted after the cleanup. Haha. 

Dawn phoned to invite us for pizzas tomorrow night! Sweet! 

Sue and Wayne have decided to spend extra time in Nashville and booked in at Yogi's til Monday. 

Two years ago this week we were traveling to meet Sue and Wayne in Nashville after Olivia & Derek's Mississippi wedding. (We never made it ... lost an axle on our 5th wheel; long (Ka-Ching) story.) 😟

So this afternoon Mark began assembling his hunting equipment as archery season opens next weekend.  I had a triple chocolate cake to bake for Riley and Parker with special request peanut butter frosting. With the peanut butter frosting I know Mark won't be sneaking any before I deliver it. Ha! 

Boy we sure felt the heat today! No breeze ... 85% humidity ... TV time.  Guess what's on tonight ... 👽
