Happy belated birthday to our #1 (in birth order; we don't have favorites among the 5 nephews we have) nephew, Jean Thomas Skaggs, III (aka Trey)...I hope you got your card yesterday. I'm just really lagging behind, aren't I? Yesterday evening I was so pooped from the week's work activities (and it was only a 4-day week, for crying out loud) that I just lazed in my Lazy Boy with my feet propped up til after dark. I hope you had a great day, though, Trey; you deserve it. Hope your 29th year (the year you are living in now because your 28th year ended Thursday) is even more blessed. I hope we see you more, too, than during your 28th.
In other news, I called our friends in Houma this afternoon. Hank answered the phone and said it was their first call on the landline. They returned to their home Thursday and are still without electricity. Their home was okay except for some roof and gutter damage. No flooding at all. Both of their children's places were okay as well. Hank said the media blew Gustav out of proportion. I know. That's why I bowed out of the world of journalism. Sensationalism and gore are much better in the newspaper and on TV than not-so-sensational and not-so-gory.
And...the last news of the day was a great supper with our daughter and son-in-law at Shaw's Catfish House in Hancock County. Great place. Great food. We visited our grand-pets afterward. I guess I should call their names for posterity's sake. Sammy is a sweet mostly-black Border Collie who adopted Amy & Joe when they moved into their house. We love him dearly; he is an old friend. Boots is a black (with white feet, of course) cat who has been around for awhile; we love her, too, but she's not super sociable...and Luka is our German Shepherd grandpuppy who has a birthday coming up. One year old. He's a feisty and frisky fellow. He let us love and pet him tonight the best he's ever done. Oh, and we have many grand-fish, but I can't name them all, so I won't offend some by naming some. Maybe next time.
Amy helped me go through a Disneyworld scrapbook I'm delivering to Hattiesburg tomorrow and see if I could add anything to it. She had a couple of things I needed to complete it, so she & I are off to Hattiesburg tomorrow afternoon to meet my client in the parking lot of (where else???) Target for the delivery. We are supposed to get a Target in D'Iberville before too long. Can't wait!
Oh, I might add we're still boarded up in case Hurricane Ike rolls this way, too. We're not the only ones, either. The Hengens are, too, and many others who don't want to have to put up those boards again.
We will just keep our fingers crossed, but just in case, I'm hoping Winn Dixie has a fresh supply of green grapes and Underwood Deviled Ham!
