That kind of day!

Tropical Storm Hanna sure has taken her sweet ass time in getting here and passing through! It rained like hell at midnight and 2am this morning and we awoke to stifling humidity and fog! We took my Dad-in-law to breakfast, came back home and then I ran out to Foodtown to do our weekly shopping... You would have thought they were giving away free food or the blizzard of the century was about to hit with how many people were there! Traffic going down to the marina was also streaming down 1st Ave! (Not sure why! It was too foggy to see anything past the docks!) After bringing home the grocceries, Hubby and I ran out to the hardware store for a propane tank refill for the grill (in case we lose power - the stove is electric!) and asome odds and ends for the apt complex and the house. The rain finally started coming down pretty good around 1pm or so after sprinkling most of the day and the wind picked up. Since then it has been raining in waves of downpours and sprinkles, gusting now and again. The Weather Channel says we have had nearly 2 inches of rain so far but no flooding as of yet. I got some reading done this afternoon and popped a pot roast in the oven about 4pm that came out PERFECT! I love a day when I can hunker down inside for a while!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
