That time of year

Yep, it's once again, that time of year. Time to pull out the sand bags and stack'em up high. Tropical Storm Erin left a pretty mark on my area today, but she got us all geared up to get ready for Dean out there drifting towards the Gulf. 2 years ago when Katrina hit, she got us all scared and running when Rita came. Thank goodness, cause it knocked over all kinds of trees in our yard. But thanks to the Good Lord no trees were on our house. Just smack dab up against it. lol So now with Hurricane Dean coming this way....I'm nervious, worried and scared. I don't want to go through that again. It was really terrible. It wasn't fun being so far away from home not knowing if your home is still there or not or having to pack up all the pictures and clothes.
