thank you all. yes we were very lucky. and i suppose have been considering isabell cat 5 that came a few years back and we only had a leaf fall out of the tree on that one. that is why i really thought we were going to get slammed by irene. how many times can one luck out?
gotta keep an eye on the next one that is out there.
i spent most of yesterday just walking around and staying in bed. i took a fall up where we stayed. he has stone steps and boy do they get slippery when wet! ouch. so both wrists/hands and both knees are swollen and pretty sore. they are getting better today though.
..as we were driving out there, we saw some debri in the road, but then the debri started slithering, and by then it was too late to turn, so we ran it over. it was a copperhead. took a few minutes for me to recover from that.
had a blonde moment while sitting at a red light. the light turned green for the left turning folk, but my peripheral vision caught the movement of the cars and i took off, then it hit me in the middle of that mess that the light for going straight was still red. but i had no choice at that moment but to continue going thru the red.
came to a blinking red, had another blonde moment, waiting for it to start blinking green.
the 1 yr old fell into a table, got a huge egg on her forehead. my 28 yr old got a busted, fat lip when the baby thru a toy at her. our host got a migraine. hubby drank the 500lbs of beer and had to take the wrath of my when we got hom. now that was not a pretty sight.
oh and hubby's van did not have working wipers! and it was just like a cartoon rain cloud over us as we were driving. that darn rain stayed right with us. my daughter looked on her phone gadget thing and that red spot was staying in our path. everything around us was clear. so we pulled over and tried to wait it out. then we would take off again, and hit that stupid cloud again, pull over and wait. saw 3 (might have been the same one, but saw it 3 different times) a beautiful rainbow while we waited. now i don't think the rain cloud ever left us, but it did disolve.
.the foamie insides were pretty well soaked. remember i stuck the old door back on. the good news, the hatch stayed dry., but not the mattress. although it seems dried out now. but i really need to keep it tarped or fix that darn door.
wow, did not mean to write a novel.
