Thank you for checking on us again. ...Hi Felisol. Thank you for checking on us again. We are settled in pretty good now, even went to church this morning. (The sermon was from Job, very fitting for the troubles we have all seen.)<BR/><BR/>Adi doesn't get bothered by storms but our new little dog, Katrin sure does. We put them both in our bed room and she just couldn't settle down, all night long she acted up.<BR/>..<BR/>I guess you know of Katrin, I've posted more about her on my other blog, Jim's Little Photo Place.<BR/>Mrs. Jim literally 'inherited' her from a friend who died. Katrin is a miniture poodle.<BR/>..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-54712381960828735512008-09-21T09:13:00.000+01:002008-09-21T09:13:00.000+01:00Dear Vicki,thank you so much for visiting.I am doi...Dear Vicki,<BR/>thank you so much for visiting.<BR/>I am doing just fine at the moment. Not so much time for blogging though.<BR/>Mostly I am over at the Pilgrim Pals.<BR/>Then alas, fall is creeping in over us. I reluctantly have to accept that fact, and hurry making a last effort in the garden.<BR/>As ever the spring begins in the autumn. I have to plant bulbs, fertilize and have even bought some plants for half prize that must come in the earth in a hurry.<BR/>Later will be time for contemplating and more reading/blogging, I hope.<BR/>From FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-60854574273469465452008-09-21T03:27:00.000+01:002008-09-21T03:27:00.000+01:00That is lovely and my very favorite color.

That reminded me of the little red school desk--not the original color--that Mrs. Jim bought 30-some years ago. It is still the same but worse for one flood as when we bought it. Her spouse never was so nice as Gunnar.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for checking on me while we were roughing it after Hurricane Ike. It meant a lot to me for your concern and prayers. We are back home now and just cleaning up after living in the dark those four days before we went to Karen's. <BR/><BR/>Ike was a very bad storm, a lot of people don't have a home left to come back to, others will take more than a year to get things back in shape.<BR/>That storm (Claudette) that flooded us in 1979 kept us from living in our home for six months and when we moved back in for Christmas that year, we still did not have covering on our bare concrete floors until the next year. :-)<BR/><BR/>I could not do Ruby Friday this week as then we were sitting in the dark with an OK otherwise home.<BR/>It was nice how you answered the commenters, it takes soooooo long to comment on each other's pages. There are so many. But I still try to read all, many have become blogging friends.<BR/>..<BR/>Thank you again for caring so much. :-)<BR/>..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-49486875604171986552008-09-18T00:14:00.000+01:002008-09-18T00:14:00.000+01:00Dear anu,I have wind chimes three places in our ga...Dear anu,<BR/>I have wind chimes three places in our garden.
