Hurricane

Queen Mum here again. I would have written sooner but my cable and internet along with my cheap voip phone were out for a couple of days. Why you ask. Because June 1 is the beginning of the hurricane season for those of us along the southeast coast. And lo and behold there was a storm a brewin'. "Barry"(the new practice of naming storms after men in the name of gender fairness is another topic all together) formed in the Gulf of Mexico and made his way through Florida and up the coast. Of course by the time he arrived here it was just rain and a breeze. All the same we lost power and other "necesities". You see for us hurricane season is a big deal. We must be ready. And having dropped expanded cable years ago and getting through my weather channel addiction I had no idea what was happening. Imagine my panic when I walked into the grocery store. No milk,bread or peanut butter not to mention the AA batteries. For years we had no storms,but then we got clobbered several years in a row. And while last season was quiet the memories of not having any beenie weenies or cheese doodles in the pantry still linger. We Mums take great pride in feathering our nests againts the elements. So I'm off to the Wal-mart with list in hand-batteries? check. candles? check. Beer and cheese doodles? check,check,check.
