While I'm - Still - Able

This first half of today has passed without me even so much as stopping and taking a thirty-second glance.

Up to this point - I got Dwayne off to work this morning.  Got my shower.  Groceries have been bought - brought home and put away.  I have a pork roast - almost 10lbs. - in the oven.  Made a run to Co-Op in Loudon and picked up a couple bags of rock salt - they don’t carry Urea in the bag.  Got a light layer spread over the driveway - biting my bottom lip the whole time.  I don’t like using that stuff on any landscape.  I just got the first of four loads of laundry started.  Puppies are fed - fat ‘n happy!

Dwayne ran errands in Maryville during lunch.  He picked up a carburetor kit for the generator at Co-OP.  Pulled some cash out of the bank - in case power goes out for a while  - topped the fuel in the truck.

Our most concentrated hope and prayer at this moment is for Dwayne to be able to make it home - safely - before the worst of this storm shows up.

We are stocked here.  We have plenty of everything.  Should the power go out - we have camping gear and supplies -  plenty of butane bottles for the camp stove.  We should be able to continue using the gas fireplace - unless Loudon Utilities runs into any trouble with that.  We have plenty of batteries for the Boom box - flashlights and lanterns.  We have board games - and goofy puppies for loads of entertainment!  Oh… and I charged up the battery on the Nintendo DS.  LOL

For family - we have both cell phones charged.  And if need be - we do have a cell phone charger for the truck.

Four brand new rechargeable batteries for the digital camera are charging this very moment.  I’ll be sure to get lots of photos of the area - as soon as it’s safe to venture out!

I hope and pray God is holding everyone caught in this storm - in His hands - to get us all through this storm safely.
