Ike is Packing a Punch! (contest continues … more Coffee just comment)

Posted on 12 September 2008 by MommyKnows

Winner is: Shalet – Please email me @ kim (@) mommyknows.com to claim your prize.

I was going to blog this a.m. about more of my photo’s (yawn)! Really, I know how you feel, I am almost (ALMOST!) starting to bore myself.

Dancing Boots
I would have shown you a bunch of these. Which, although are pleasing to my eye, are probably a tiny bit over-exposed. It’s better I just lump them all together and give you a quick peek.

Then, I woke up to an email from my sister with the subject line “Neighbors checking their mail!! LOL” and this photo attached.

Getting the Mail
My sister lives north of New Orleans on Lake Pontchartrain. I assumed these were photos of Gustav she was just getting around to sharing. Unlike Katrina, Gustav’s flood waters only made it to the edge of the porch.

I was surprised (after a couple of back and forth emails), that these aren’t photos of Gustav, it’s Hurricane IKE. That storm that is several hundred miles away heading for Texas did as much flood damage to my sisters property as Gustav.

IKE - Louisiana?
This is my sister and my (uber-cool) nephews on the front porch (“Hi Guys”).

IKE hits Louisiana
I am assuming there’s no school today. I guess it’s the water equivalent of a ’snow day’?

My buddy Heather @ ohmystinkinheck is blogging about Ike as well. She’s has flooding in her area, only it’s NOT water but people. I sure hope people have heeded warnings and are safely out of Ike’s way.

I’m saying my prayers for Texas, will you join me?

A Bear from Texas, 2 Winners (and an Itty Bitty Giveaway).

30 Tiny Moments – Day 14

30 Tiny Moments - Day 14
“How sweet am I?”

A little bear arrived this morning, all the way from Texas. You may have seen ‘Teddy’ around before, he is a friend of OMSH. He used to live in this beautiful shop, now he’s in my messy diningroom, living on Great-Grandma’s side board (for now). He’s kind of quiet but, he seems happy enough. He’s smiling. We like him – A LOT.

Just wait until you see what was in the package for Georgia – TOO cute (coming soon).
