Here Comes Ike!

Good luck to family and friends as Ike roars ashore tonight. I hope everyone that was ordered to evacuate got out early and safely to avoid the lines and everyone ordered to stay has nothing more than a nice relaxing thunderstorm.

We are off to Denali National Park today. It is cloudy so I am sure we won't see the mountain. Maybe we will see some wildlife. Before we go, we need to take our hanging baskets to the green house. The winter winds have started to blow and beat them up plus I don't know they can last another week outside without getting nipped.

On a side note, the moose hunt is still jeopardized...Robert has been diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. While sounding exotic, it means he overstretched the tendon covering the arch and has to wear supportive inserts and he can't go barefoot anymore. (Ut OH - he's reached the age where words like "supportive" are being used with regards to clothing.) Of course, it hasn't healed enough for him to walk very far, let alone pack meat out from somewhere. But there is still 6 days before the hunt. From the sounds of it, we are leaving the spurs alone for now.

Tell Robert I know how he feels...I just had surgery for the same thing...only mine had created a bone spur. Take care of it now or complications could arise!

Been there, had that. From running on the mean, hard streets of Houston. Changed shoes and walked like a cowboy for about 6 weeks.
