Waiting Patiently.......

Hubby and I decided to get a new camera (Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd) . And I think it should be delivered within the next few days. I feel like I am waiting for a new born baby to arrive....LOL. It is taking FOREVER!! Here is what it looks like:

and I even got a camera bag too!

Anyway...I pray that everyone in Texas and nearby is safe from Hurricane Ike this weekend!!!

Have a great weekend!

Good Bye Hanna, Lots of Water, and One Mean Look

Very HAPPY to report that Tropical Storm Hanna was not that bad. We had lots of rain, and heavy winds but no damage. I am glad to say Hanna has left .....

First thing in the morning my husband and daughter were ready to hit the outside. My husband has said many times if it wasn't for me and our daughter he would love to be a storm chaser. I believe him too...he loves watching storm chasers on You tube. My daughter, I think, would love to be one too...she loves all the excitement. SO...out they went, walked to the river behind our house, it was about to over flow. It has been almost dry this summer and you could see the bottom but not today.


Another photo of the river


This photo is going down the path, the sides were full of water.


OKAY....this is were the ONE MEAN LOOK happens. When I saw this photo I about flipped. My husband knows all to well how I feel about water and snakes. I DON'T like snakes and I know they are out there. So he let our daughter get into the water for this photo. I just looked at him and said "You know there could be snakes in that water" He smiled and said "Yes honey, but I walked through it before I let her get in it!" Whatever!!


Anyway the sun is out now and the skies are blue with white clouds...just the way I like it.
(**My thoughts and prayers are with the ones in Hurricane Ike's path....he sounds mean**)

Quite before the storm

Well, it's been so nice and warm the last couple of days....hard to believe Hanna the Tropical Storm will be knocking on my door soon, as in early Saturday morning. Weathermen say we could start feeling the wind picking up about Friday after lunch. It's suppose to hit near the bottom of our coast and move on up. I don't live on the coast but live about 1 1/2 hrs away and the edge of the storms away seem to reach out to us. I hope it isn't has bad as they say it could be.....lots of rain and tornado's though. And I have been glued to the TV waiting to see here Hurricane Ike is headed, the weathermen are saying there is a chance it's following Hanna in the same path. I guess the summer wants to end in a real bang!!!

I hope anyone in the path of these storms are able to stay safe!!
