Aloha Ruth!

-> ->  hn> Have not heard from my Aunt and Uncle in
-> ->  hn> Morehead, I'll call today to see how they
-> ->  hn> are doing.
-> 
->  hn> got an email from them, they DID get outta
->  hn> dodge, and went to Raliegh and stayed with
-> 
-> 
-> Good to hear they got out and went to Raleigh (in this case, e before
-> i). Onslow county was declared a disaster area today--about time!
-> 
->  hn> my cousin and her husband. They're back
->  hn> home now and damage was minimal, strong
->  hn> winds had knocked a few branches of trees
->  hn> along their street, but power is underground
->  hn> so evidently they never lost power and everything
->  hn> (so far) looks good.
-> 
-> Few miles one way or another can make a huge amount of difference in
-> damage. Friends of ours live just north of Mobile; they're going to get
-> drenched in the next few days.
->
TS Lee is a slow mover as well!
Have not been watching the news this weekend 
so don't know what's been going on...not that
I miss it that much!

-> -> We're hearing a lot on the news about the damage to the Outer Banks. 
It
-> -> store above the flood plain in 96 but there was never any follow
thru.
-> -> (Wonder if they will now-G-) My brother has a 4WD pick up truck and 
has
-> -> been able to get out some; he will shop for my folks on his way back
-> -> from work (and said he'd pick up healthier stuff).
-> 
->  hn> It's amazing that folks will build again and
->  hn> again in the same spot, only to be whacked
->  hn> again by Mother Nature...she keeps trying
->  hn> to get 'em to understand!!
-> 
-> Manteo book store has rebuilt 8 times according to what they said on the
-> news yesterday. Rebuild #9 is coming up.
->
I would not sell them insurance if they've
done this multiple times! Their risk their
dollars!
 
-> -> About that, yes. Picked one tomato today.
-> 
->  hn> Oh yum!
-> 
-> It was good but not great. Anoter one went bad, one left before we take
-> out the plants.
-> 
-> ->  hn> soap before I peel the fruit. Good rinse of
-> ->  hn> water after peeled and then to Anne.
-> 
-> -> Get rid of most of the germs anyway, however you can do it.
-> 
->  hn> Yep!
-> 
-> Doesn't do you any harm either to eat cleaner fruits & veggies.
-> 
-> -> And hopefully escaped any of Irene. Sounds like Anne is slowing down
a
-> -> bit; the next round of chemo will be rougher since she's wiped out 
from
-> -> the first. You'll have to really keep her nutrition up, easier said 
than
-> -> done but got to be done.
-> 
->  hn> I sure hope she's safe, want her back here
->  hn> and ready to keep Anne's health at it's best!
-> 
-> Sounds like a good idea to me.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Not sure I remember seeing any from Virginia
-> ->  hn> Beach...speaking of which I hope that Carol
-> ->  hn> and family are alright. VB took a direct hit.
-> 
-> -> Saw a message from her a bit earlier in the packet--brief but it 
appears
-> -> she rode this one out in good shape. I don't think many pictures were
-> -> taken at the VB gathering; it was a small one. But, we did try that
-> -> conference phone call. (G)
-> 
->  hn> I remember that( that...that...that!) (grin)
-> 
-> It seemed like a good idea at the time. (G)
-> 
And now it's a bit of FIDO lore!

-> ->  hn> Anne has that one...and one that says;
-> ->  hn> "I've got Chemo-Brain, What's YOUR
-> 
-> -> I like that but I couldn't wear it as I didn't have chemo.
-> 
->  hn> Oh you lucky thing you!!
-> 
-> Just worked out that way; mine was one that would not have been helped
-> by chemo or tamoxifin. Got a bit more radiation than the standard course
-> tho as a preventative measure.
-> 
-> 
Hopefully it stays away too! Anne's is the type that
they really want to go after with every gun blazing,
as it's the nastiest kind...
Tomorrow she starts the second round of chemo.
I'll be there!
chat with you soon!
