Packing up cherished memories.
Filing important documents.
Boarding up doors and windows.
Making a list for the store.
Taking apart the trampoline and putting patio furniture and flower pots in the garage...
Cleaning out the fridge because we're sure to be without power for several days...
Saving our pictures.
We've decided NOT to leave. The storm is going further up the coast and while we'll still get hurricane force winds, we will not bear the brunt of the "eye." We are going to Doug's parents' home during the storm. Their home is strong and not surrounded by huge trees like ours is. Before we go, Doug will bless our home with holy water and blessed salt and we will recite prayers of protection against storms. It will then all be in God's hands...
Praying for all of us in Ike's path...
