Thank you Joana for those kind words...

Just got off the phone with Mom & Dad.. It's still pretty bad there.. Reports of dime sized hail at Patrick's AirForce Base just a mile or so north of levy..

But on a good note, today is my parent's 45th Wedding Anniversary.. And what makes it so special is they were married on this day in 1954 in Portsmouth, NH during Hurricane Hazel...LOL!!! My Dad was stationed at the Naval Yard on the USS Tringa a Sub Tender and they weren't going to let him off ship because they were going out to sea to ride out the storm.. About 15 minutes before they were about to embark the XO called him to the ward room and said "How long will it take you to get off the ship?" and Dad being the cut up he still is today quipped, "I'll swim if I have to." Suffice it to say he made it off the ship in record time..<gg>

Now they are celebrating their nuptials during Hurricane Irene..

Thank you an God Bless.
