Three years ago
Three years ago today, I slept late and woke up in LEM's aunt & uncle's house in the country. The room we were staying in had not been redecorated since the early 70s when it was his only girl first cousin's room. Think lots of white frilly with (thankfully) blue country-ish wallpaper.
And really the rest is a blur. I know we raked and walked around to see all the trees that went down. We didn't lose power, but LEM's Dad was going crazy from broadcast only TV. And we thought we were OK. That we would head home the next day or so. We were wrong.
So today, I have a tight chest and my Mom sounds like she is freaking with the idea of evacuating again. And LEM is working like a crazy person to get our house ready and "protected" because the neighbors started in on how many houses in the neighborhood were robbed post-K. But we will leave if a mandatory evacuation is called.
