Labor Day, September 5, 2011


Well, to say the least things have been VERY interesting since I last posted on here.
August 23rd found Julie, the girls and me on our way to New York City.   Little did we know that All Hell would break loose in Virginia.  We got a text from Bry just as we were arriving in the city that a 5.8 earthquake had happened in Mineral Virgina, which is only about 15 miles from our house. It was felt all up the east coast.   Larry was napping upstairs and thought a plane was about to hit the house.   We had no damage but things were crazy.   He and I both appreciated all the phone calls, which at first would not go through, text messages and concern from our friends from all over the country. I finally asked Clare Friend to post on Facebook that she had talked to me and that we were all okay.  Julie, the girls and I had a wonderful time in New York City but the highlight of it all was seeing "The Lion King" on Broadway.  I gave Taylor a stuffed Simba when she was 6 months old and that is the most loved Simba in the world. She is 17 now and he still sleeps with her, been on a cruise and Lord knows how many sleepovers.  We returned to Virginia on Thursday to an awful thunderstorm to which Larry told me to stay in Stafford at Bryant's house as he was coming up there on Friday. They had no power for several hours, the yard was a mess with limbs, leaves etc and then along came Irene, the hurricane.
What a week !!!!!We have been busy working on building a deck around the pool that Bry & Julie had put in this summer so we have spent a lot of time up there but with the help of a lot of Bry's motorcycle club guys it is done.  We are still having some aftershocks from the earthquake and since I was not here for the big one I think someone thought it necessary for me to experience something that would scare the begeezes out of me.  One morning about 5:08am one hit and I came right out of the bed.  I think now I have felt 4 that let me know it is still shaking.   Maybe it will be over soon.
Until next time.
