& I miss you! I never did get that lap top & am using the hotel computer, so feel that I have to make this short.

We've had 8 storms since the 4th...severe, but only lasting for approx. an hour & then the sun shines. 80,000 people were without power. There were 7 drownings due to the strong under current...all 7 were attempting to save a teenage boy who was in trouble. The boy survived, but 7 died!!! The 7th. person was found yesterday. How tragic!

Hope all of you are well. Maybe if I come down very late at night I'll have a chance to catch up on the board without anyone waiting to use this computer. Take care of yourselves! Cal

Thanks for checking in Cal. So sad about those rescuers. There have been violent storms here too, many limbs down, but at least we didn't have the hail damage and power outages many in the area had.

AND, I don't have to water my gardens!!!

I hope the rest of your time is pure happiness, with no more tragedies and bad weather!

Hugs, Darby

Hi Cal,

Great to hear from you. Gee that weather has been terrible. I was thinking how much we miss you when you aren't here. Do have a good time and check in when you can.

Be safe..Becky
