Hey guys! I'm sure you're all aware that Hurricane Irene is planning to visit some of us this weekend. I don't know where everyone is located but here in Va., we are preparing for her, as we did for Isabel a few years ago. We lost power for many days then. About an hour ago, we had a few buckets of rain dumped on us, with the predictions of many more. My "other half" works for Asplundh Tree Co. and they will be pulling out Sunday morning, to go wherever they are needed. In the past, they have been to Florida, Texas and Massachusetts, to name a few. Of course, I always worry when he's gone. So, I wanted to let ya'll know ahead of time, that in case it gets bad, and you don't hear from me for awhile, I will be thinking of ya'll. Please be careful and safe. I hope we all make it through, with minimal damage.
