Studly Doright and I would appreciate your prayers and/or good vibes for our eldest grandson as he undergoes surgery this morning.
On Monday morning he underwent an appendectomy, but as of yesterday (Wednesday) he wasn’t improving. His temperature spiked overnight and they’re taking him back to surgery to see what else is going on.
The distance between Florida and Illinois has never felt so huge.
Peace, people.
Sometimes I forget that my Facebook posts and my WordPress posts don’t reach the same audiences. I want to thank everyone who has inquired about our welfare as Irma approaches, and to provide an update.
At Doright Manor we lost power at 2:54 a.m. Monday. There is no darkness quite as deep as that found in a forest during a nighttime storm. A black velvet blanket seemingly fell over our home awakening us immediately. On the plus side we’ve had no lightning, just heavy winds and driving rain.
The weakened eye of Irma is projected to pass very near us around noon today according to the ventusky.com model shown below.
Right now we are getting the outer edges of Irma. Thank goodness she has lost a great deal of her ferocity. She’s scary enough as it is.
I’m going offline now to save battery power. To my Florida friends, stay safe and to everyone else, keep sending those prayers and positive vibes. We really can feel them.
Peace, people!
We watched clouds gather
Towering over us all
Menacing columns
Shelter from chaos
Hold tightly to those you love
As the storm rages
Tides will rise and fall
Through every challenge, seek light
Never doubt your strength
We had quite a few family members and friends in the path of Hurricane Harvey this weekend. I’ve sent up countless prayers and will continue doing so, but know that prayers aren’t enough unless we help out in material ways. I hate the feeling of helplessness such storms bring.
