Even our children, born and raised in New York, have experienced hurricanes while visiting their Grandma in St. Lucia. They like to lord it over us with that one. Dumb luck.

Mine happened a few years before yours but, I remember that very same thing.

When he moved away I missed those records so much that I went out and bought them, even though neither is exactly my kind of music. I still love them both. <br /><br />My sister, her husband, my mother, and their cats are evacuated from Cape Coral on the west coast of FLA but it looks like they will miss a direct hit. But they are still expecting flooding so they did their best to move the important stuff as high as possible in a single-story house.<br /><br />Your grandmother is funny.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990041745880166605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-54463293382137216002017-09-08T16:41:12.805+01:002017-09-08T16:41:12.805+01:00Yesterday I had the song "Wallflower" st...Yesterday I had the song "Wallflower" stuck in my head but I couldn't remember the first two words of it ("Wallflower, wallflower..." duh) or who recorded it. I thought it might have been Bob Dylan or Mick Jagger. SWMBO thought it was maybe David Bromberg. (She also came up with the words I couldn't remember. When I got home I checked with YouTube and learned that Dylan wrote and recorded the song, as did Mick Jagger and David Bromberg.<br /><br />I hate earworms!Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-80196353437336510462017-09-08T15:45:47.989+01:002017-09-08T15:45:47.989+01:00I like Ms. Moon's idea of that birdseed store ...I like Ms. Moon's idea of that birdseed store getting cats. A very nice, furry solution to that problem. I remember one hurricane when I was in elementary school in 1961 or 1962 in New Jersey. The school let us out early because of the storm, and a neighbor came to pick up all the neighborhood kids. She stood out in the rain waiting for each one of us, while we sat in the back of the car as it rocked and shook like crazy. <br /><br />We love listening to music, but mostly especially during dinner. We have a bunch of playlists that we have put together over the years, but even those get boring after a while. And we've noticed that shuffle doesn't shuffle as much as we might like. So lately we've been playing music alphabetically. Last night we listened to all the songs beginning with "G"-- It's been a surprising delight hearing music we forgot we even had.
