Ah!
Then let us both hope for a big veer to the northeast....and soon

I have a son, DIL and grandbaby that live on Jacksonville Beach. I want Irma to stay far away. Period.

MMoB - Glad to hear you are okay! And hoping you will stay safe as you ride out the hurricane in your 1925 home! Since your old home has survived through so many hurricanes already, likely it will be keeping you safe and sound. And prayers that Round #4 of chemo goes well and on schedule.

LENORA - Best wishes for your son and his family in Jacksonville Beach. Hoping they are safe and sound! My Hubby lived down at Jacksonville as a baby - in a quonset hut at the Navy Base!

Went fishing at my favorite place on the planet Ridgway State Park this morning. Caught my limit of 4 rainbow trout. 74 degrees nice cool breeze. Came back here 93 smoke humid.

Gorgeous photo. My son and his wife live in Grand Junction, and we'll be visiting in a couple of weeks. It's so pretty out west!

MMofB: This isn't any old hurricane and I truly wish you could get away somehow. TV coverage shows widespread devastation and I would not want to stay around there for love or money. I understand you are not well but wouldn't the paramedics assist you to get to a safer place? Or someone? Watching the TV this looks like a direct hit to Miami. We all are praying you will be back with us when it's over. Barb

Maybe it will cool off in Junction by then. Been near 100 there with smoke every day. I had to go 60 miles and 7,000 feet to get away from this heat and smoke near Montrose.

Randomly going through posts for the first time in awhile and see Meo is moving! Wowsa! I had to do a search to see what was going on. So excited for you Meo! You are inspiration and hope. I am really struggling with this move thing.

I love,love,love Arizona.

I was amazed at the prices in the stores too. So much cheaper than Minnesota. And everyone I've met is so friendly.

So glad I took the plunge & moved here.

My apartment is also handicapped friendly & it is so easy for me to get around in it. Didn't even realize how much of a difference it would make until I got here.
Congratulations on escaping "Frostbite Falls"! AZ should be much better.
