Didn't get blown away by the storm
I am finally back again :). I was on vacation since a couple of weekends ago & I know I have missed a bit here on LJ. We were going to go out of town for the week, but since Frances the hurricane was coming my parents ended up coming to see us & I got to spend sometime with them. Luckily it didn't damage their apt in Fort Lauderdale & when it hit us in Tallahassee all it did was break one tree & toss a bunch of branches all over our yard. The tree fell on open land so it didn't hurt the house at all thankfully. It will be a pain getting all the sticks up though since they are spread across our 1/2 acre O_O, but hey it could've been worse. We are actually going to wait until we see what happens with Ivan before we pick them up. My father-in-law already came by & chopped down the rest of the fallen tree & cut two more that were already dead. Hopefully Ivan will not hit Florida. I swear if this keeps up Florida will be under water sooner then they predicted *lol*. I did enjoy most of my week though since I hadn't seen my folks since Christmas & they even brought up my African Grey Mr.Grinch & the set of Parakeets. Then when they left I read 4 novels & painted a little. It had been a while since I tried my hand at painting, but I think I got a bit inspired this past week. So, hopefully this painting will get finished. Well, I must go catch up with all the lovely work on my desk & then I will also try to catch up on some of everyones LJ entries.
