Good Saturday Afternoon! Cloudy and 76 going up to 87. Yesterday afternoon around 4 PM a very strong thunderstorm came through Charlotte and surrounding areas. Craig gets off work at 4:00 and he had to delay going to his car because of the heavy rain and high winds. Before he left the parking lot Craig learned that the school where he worked had lost power. He had to take numerous detours on the way way home because of downed trees. We were most fortunate and thankful that we never lost power at our house nor did we lose anymore tree… Read more »

At the height of the power outages there were 28K customers who lost power in the Greater Charlotte area. Around 3K are still without power (as of 3:20 PM).

Good morning,
Yesterday was a 10 of a day, just beautiful. I did the food prep in the morning and enjoyed being out reading and relaxing in the afternoon.
Denny had a good time at the automobile car auction.
We are leaving early going down to Brunswick.

Just read about another recall of salad, this time sprouts not lettuce and the next thing I saw was this.

I baked a box Angel food confetti cake for Ricks birthday today. Then I made a 7 minute frosting for the cake.
It is Yummy.
We had a salad for supper last night.
We are going to South Tucson for Mexican food with Zura and Fred today.

Good Saturday morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy Lynn, Pam.
A lovely cool night and a lovely sunny morning temp at 7-00 just 55F rising today to just 70F now that is much more comfortable.
Temps next week will be in the mid 70F range might be some rain towards the end of the week.
We have not had enough rain yet to make any difference
Still has that scorched look but at least the weeds are green.lol.
Off to get the daily paper now see you all later.😀😘

Good morning Ice,
I think it will take a long time to get rid of your drought. We have had little rain July and now August and we just read we are in a bad drought here. It was the same last summer. We have a dug well and worry about it going dry but at least we have the apartment if that happens we can go there sooner than planned. Hope it won’t happen though.

Hi Jenn.Looking out on the Green this morning there are some patches of Green showing so there is life there.
Hope you get some real rain there and I hope we do get some real rain next week, the forecast looks promising for some proper rain, but we have been disappointed before.
Hope your well does not run dry😀😘
