Thursday with family

We had a gorgeous morning this morning - got to sit out on the deck until nearly 10.

Not too much going on today - just enjoying Gin & Jim. I drove Gin over to Vicki's for a bit, and then showed her around the SouthSide - with all the changes that are going on. It's such an exciting time in that area.

Lots of laughs were had when we took them to the regular Thursday lunch. What a crazy bunch of people that is! After last night's marathon talk session, Gin & I took lengthy naps in the recliners. After getting that second wind, we were able to drag outselves out to dinner at our favorite Chinese place.

Margaret's coming over tomorrow to visit, and will be bringing goodies. So we'll have a bountiful feast tomorrow night for dinner. Vicki and Roger will complete the party.

I talked to Betsy this evening. She said they had been without water for a while, and they hadn't gotten full power back yet. She said she'd never seen anything like Dolly's effects yesterday. It started at noon, as the hurricane hit. The heavy winds and the torrential rains continued unabated for over 12 hours - until about 3 a.m. this morning. Everyone there is okay, though. She had nothing but good things to say about the staff there and how well they had taken care of the residents.

I'm working on the socks for myself from this yarn that we dyed while we were at the beach. It's working up nicely.
