Floating Away

This is what we looked at all day today. It never stopped raining and it got really windy. We had a gust of 44 mph. At Newport, they had a gust of 83mph. It is suppose to get worse after midnight. Some schools on the coast have already cancelled school for tomorrow. The puppies, especially Maddie don't like to go outside to take a dump. This afternoon, it took Maddie three times out before she finally took a dump.

I got your elf e-mail open here and showed your dad. He thought it was pretty funny, but not as funny as I thought it was. We did send it to nanny and papap. Did you have any comments from your elf e-mails?

We went Christmas shopping this morning and were downtown for 10am. No one was there and it was great. WE were home by 11:30 (after grocery shopping) and watched the game, Seattle of course). There were a couple of good games in the afternoon too.

I just took the ham out of the oven. We are having the rest of the potatoes from last night, baked beans and cornbread muffins.

We are watching the night game(right now your dad is asleep) while we are eating.

Glad you had an uneventful day. Those days are sometimes better than to much going on.

I showed dad the pictures that were on your blog with the Christmas lights. He said that the tree is really bright.

WEll, it's time to wake up your dad to eat. Talk to you soon. Not to rub it in, but we only have two weeks and two days left of school until vacation.
