boarding up

I took a walk down the beach this beautiful afternoon. No humidity and a gentle breeze with white, puffy clouds blowing around made it almost perfect.

Some people were boarding up their windows in preparation for the coming storm.

If you are not familiar with "boarding up," you may not live in a hurricane prone area.

This is the process in which people buy huge sheets of plywood and nail them over their windows so that the wind will not be able to break the glass into a million little pieces.

Areas to our north seem to be Hanna's target, but you can never be sure it won't wobble a bit and change its course.

As I was walking back a lovely conch shell had just been washed ashore.......you know the kind that you can hold to your ear and hear the ocean.

I was carrying it proudly when a nice lady stopped and asked if she could see it. She was amazed that I had found such a beauty as she had never had the pleasure. I asked her if she would like to have it and she accepted with great thankfulness. O what joy giving brings!

We will go back to the mainland tomorrow to be home for the arrival of the Hollingsworth family late tomorrow night. They are coming a day early to be out of the path of the storm.

They reserved three nights at our condo months ago and I pray that it will work out for them....... that Tybee will not have to be evacuated. The three days that they are "honeymooning" here will be Jake and Eli alone time for Bubba and I.

And now for the absolute best news of the day.....the neurologist was very pleased with Harry's MRI and that the seizure medicine is working. This, dear friends, is such an answer to prayer.
That little boy is so amazing and so lovable. We are so thankful for God's graciousness to us in this matter.

This is my second blog today.....don't miss the first one.
