Dominoes Anyone

Well our weekend started out getting ready for Hurricane Ike. We secured everything

outside getting ready for the high winds and rain. Friday night we went with the boys to the high school football game. The wind started picking up while we were at the game, so we definitely figured we would be getting our share of this enormous hurricane. Saturday morning we got up to what I would call breezy morning with an overcast sky. By now we should have been getting poured on. We checked the news to find out that the hurricane had turned more north. For the folks along the coast line it was not a good scene. For us it meant not even a drop of rain. Laura and I were left with no other choice other than sitting on the back deck playing dominoes and drinking cocktails all afternoon. Sunday was another day of kicking back. We put all of the outdoor furniture back out since it didn't look like we were going to get high winds from the hurricane. Then we went to Home Depot and picked up 3 Queen Palm trees and planted them along the pool. Looks like it is time for another cocktail. Cheers!
