Huri Weathever

And look! It's magic! Just as soon as you post, someone shows up to read it!

What a beautiful, peaceful photo - I love your Atlantic!

Huri!

I didn't see it, until I enlarged the photo. There it is! Such beautiful flowers!

I'm off in a half-minute to Mom's needlepoint group. I never went while she was with us because it was sort of "her thing". She never said I couldn't go, but it was clear she enjoyed having one or two groups that were "just hers". I'm just going to visit tonight, but next month I'll have her stash sorted out and will take some with me to share with the ladies.

And some I'll keep. Maybe I'll make your flowers into a needlepointed pillow!

Have a good evening - off I go.

ADD: Oh! I didn't see you'd been at my place. Of course you can post any photo you like. I'm getting so easy-going in my old age. ;-)

Helloooooooo,
Can you hear me ECF?

Love these two photos. The beach looks inviting, especially to someone living in drought territory who has not seen the ocean for a couple years. I wanna go to the beach. Whine What are the purple flowers called?

Happy to see your blog up.
:)

Oh, on second thought, they look like Impatiens, aka in some circles as Blooming Idiots.

Hope you're having a good Saturday. Thanks for stopping in my bog. lol typo - You know what I mean.
:)

Oh wow. I've never seen Vinca with so many blooms.
:)

I was reading Roz Savage' blog just now. She's been inviting jokes in order to lighten the mood of her ocean row, and today this one was included:

A guy gets shipwrecked. When he wakes up, he's on a beach. The sand is purple. He can't believe it. The sky is purple. He walks around a bit and sees that there is purple grass, purple birds and purple fruit on the purple trees. He's shocked when he finds that his skin is starting to turn purple too. "Oh no!" he says. "I think I've been marooned!"

Huri, I am just now finding you started a new blog thread!!!
You left the radar maps off! LOL

You can take any of the ones I have in my header if you want them.


Beautiful photos!!!!

just got in from a very long work day.. I am ready to have some "red" and go watch a little tv..

good to see you again girl!!!

Well, aren't I a doofus. I typed you a nice response, wandered off and promptly erased it when I came back. Nice to know that I'm getting back into my usual routines. ;)

You know here in Texas we like to say "what goes around comes around". I like thinking that one day your bottle will "come around" somewhere - if not to Sandi's shore or Roz's boat, at least somewhere, found by someone with the good sense to let you know about it.

It was a pretty day here, but entirely too hot. I hate to say that, as barefoot's been having it worse than most of us, but my goodness - it's just no fun to be out at all. I did get lots of little errands done today - and came home from the market with a box of fresh, tree-ripened peaches. Nothing better than that!

I hope your weekend's lovely. Nice to see your radar back, too. Now I'll have a convenient place to watch Emily go swirling off into the Great Atlantic. ;)

hurigo- Hi! Nice to hear from you! Great pictures!

Hi ECF! (and everyone)
Pretty funny joke shore posted. Marooned. LOL.
You know that invest 91L gots to develop first before it will reveal its path. I know you do. If it even develops. Glad you're keeping an eye on it.

Hope you're having a great weekend.
:)

Good morning to you - Huri across the Atlantic :)

Wishing you a very happy, healthy and safe August :)
{It is hard to believe we are in August already! }

Hello ECF,
In the next day or two we will know more about where this Emily will go.

Huri, I went ahead and put up the "before "photos of my east side garden! LOL
that was funny!

Looks like I will be tracking Emily this week.

Hi ECF,
Alphie sends his Love...

Hi ECF,
Alphie's eyes are blue, and he's a little bit cross-eyed in his right eye. he acts more like a dog than a cat.
:)
He has been very quiet lately.

This enigma called Emily may not reorganize after she crosses Hispaniola, presuming the trough makes her turn as expected. Tomorrow and Thursday should tell the tale. I know you're ready just in case, and I will be thinking of you. And Gamms. (Hi, Gamms.)

Happy Birthday day.

Lucille Ball's 100th birthday

Did you see the Google page? lol

Hello Huri,

it is weekend time again!!!

Hope you are enjoying your day.. and wow all those "blobs" out there in the Atlantic swirling around..

hope they stay out to sea and behave!!!

take care!

Hey ho, Huri across the Atlantic:)

Great to see you around again - damsons are small versions of plums.
Sour unless dosed with plenty of sugar, not my favourite, but my sister loves them!



Happy Sunday to you :)

Hi, Huri ~

Saw your post over at Bug's. I don't have much advice to give that's any better than anyone else's, but I can at least tell you a couple of things I do without fail.

1. Follow the Chicago Way. Evacuate early and often. Don't dither. If you leave and the storm goes to Nebraska or something, you'll know it very soon and can just turn around and go home. By leaving early, you'll also miss the worst of the traffic.

2. I was just looking at your map and it's harder for you to do what I always do, but I'll tell you anyhow. I always make motel reservations or whatever in two places, far, far apart. Like, San Antonio and Shreveport. Then, once I make a decision which way the danged storm is going, I go the other direction. Of course it doesn't always work - with Ike, I choose east because he was coming in west of us, but he kept moving east. Still, even though we got the winds, we were far enough inland for not much problem.

Being right on the coast is a problem, of course. Kind of hard to go east. ;-) Still, I'd head west instead of north, myself. At this point, anyhow. Could change some, depending on the track.

3. I already have all my treasures packed that I know I'd want to take in the car with me. They've been packed since April. All I have to do is pick them up and stow them in the back seat. Likewise Dixie's stuff. (She's got as much or more as I do.)

4. Little things mean a lot: bottled Starbucks' frappucino for when coffee can't be made. Battery powered fluorescent lanterns that are cool and can light up a whole room. I hve Coleman - I suppose there are others. Ummm... Water, even for evacuating, and good, healthy snacks. More protein, less sugar.

5. All those important papers, jewelry, etc. Cash. Fill up your car now. But you know all this - I'm just trying to think out loud.

If I think of anything else, I'll stop by. And don't feel bad about being nervous/anxious/hyped up/scared to death. Storms are no fun, period. If you need to just vent, stop by any of our blogs. We don't mind. ;-)

Dear huripoetfriend, no doubt you're informed, prepared and have a plan. I'm thinking of you and sending you good vibes of safety and peace of mind. Information is the key to not being afraid. Love to you, the Greek god and your family.

Have you seen your sis lately? Thinking good time for visit away from the OB and your beloved A now dear friend. Best wishes!

Hi huri,
Well, good grief. Guess if you have to you could take a trip to Dollywood or that Elvis place - Graceland - Good road trip music.
:)

I am toying with humor here but I know you do not like these storms. Won't be long till you know if you need to go.

Well, I just caught the bug that was flying around the room and put it outside, and Alphie came in from his late night jaunt, so time for me to sleep. Take care, dear ECF.

Check in when you can. I know you are following your "safe" plans. Hoping Irene's track will keep shifting east, east, east - and away from all US areas.
HUGS!

Hoping the best for you. Everything still is so "iffy", but there's at least a chance you could end up on the dry side. Will be watching and waiting for word from you.

xoxoxo

Huri,

Like the rest of your friends here, I too am now a little worried about your area.

I know you will get out, you always do and surrounded by water like you are that is a good thing.

Your NY sister may want to join you this time.

We are watching this with you.

Huri, following Gams. When in doubt .... get out. I think you would be wise to make that decision. The water this storm will bring you will not be nice. I don't know how close you are to the beach but the tides are not going to be happy tides. Now I know you will make the best decision for you but choose wisely. You know we are all here and if you need any help you know where to find us. Lots of hugs.
Hunker down and stay safe!
Hugs,
Sarah

My friend Huri across the Atlantic.....
Thinking of you,

Unlike the others, I can't give you hurricane preparation ..... but I can send you {{{hugs and good luck!}}} - sending you tons of both!!

{{{ Huri }}}}
because you have not been here yet in a few days I am thinking you have started packing up to leave for the weekend.

Let us know when you are safe somewhere...

I'm sure you're gone. Hopefully soon online to say you're ok.

Huri,

Just let you know, we are all thinking about you. I am sure you are out of there and someplace safe.

Hope your home escapes any damage.

Take care.

Thinking of you, and ever so glad that the storm has weakened, at least a bit. I know you're safe somewhere - soon it will be over!

Huri just keep your spirits up. It won't belong before Big Girl Irene is history. Hope she just left you with a little sand on your doorstep.
Hugs
Sarah

Hi ECF,
Love you.
This storm had a ring of dry air in her yesterday like something I've never seen in a 'cane this size. She was wedded to dry air. A good thing. The worst part of the storm looks to be over your stomping ground right now.

So sorry this had to happen. The water will cause untold damage, making the aftermath worse than the storm. But when is it not?

Keep your chin up.
:)

Thinking of you.


Check in when you can.

Ditto sentiments with all the above, Huri...

Hoping your abode is spared from much wrath with Irene and no other storms come close this season.

Best wishes to you, friend!

Oh, hallelujah! SO good to see your note. Been thinking of you a good bit - awfully glad to know you're ok.

Great to see your post! Thanks for the quick check in. Continue to be careful.

I understand your tears. Just so happy you are ok. Anxious to hear all about your experience with Big Girl Irene. She was not very kind to alot of folks. I will check back later.

Glad to see you have checked in ECF.
:)

{{{{{huri}}}}} see how much you are loved :)

Hi Huri - So glad you came through with not much trouble - keep smiling :)
