A Hurricane and Muffins

Well if any of you have been watching tv you know that there is a hurricane hitting the east coast at the present time.

After all the preparations have been made, now we wait.

We have done everything that needs to be done. We have food, water and ice. Got gas in the car and cash in my purse. My trash cans are in the

garage and my plants have been put inside as well.

I've washed all my laundry too.

So............what do I do now?

Bake muffins! Duh!

Well there is a wonderful blog that I like to visit.

She has some super muffins and cup cakes!

You can find her recipe here for Apple sauce muffins here:

Your Cup of Cake

So good!

This should be good for breakfast as well.

Got to go now. Looks like we going to lose power. My lights are flickering.

Be safe and have a great weekend!

Hurricane season in full force!

Well I thought we might not have any big storms this year but....

Hurricane Earl is knocking at our door. I sounds like it will just skirt our coast. But hurricanes aren't always predictable. Earl could go north or come west right at us. We still can get winds and rain. Lots of rain! Our schools might even close. We never know what will happen. We just wait.

So......

If it looks like Earl is coming ashore there are several things to do.

1. Fill gas tank in car full. Gas for generator if you have one. ( I don't)

2. Get plenty of water. Fill bathtub, large pots. buckets etc.... (remember if the water gets cut

off you will want to flush the toilet)

3. Get drinking water.

4. Food (snacks and stuff you can cook on the grill or the Coleman)

5. Radio and flashlight with extra batteries.

6. Medication

7. Charge phones.

8. Keys

9. Cash and credit cards.

10. Books and games.

11. Tools

12. Call family and let them know your safe.

13. Put away thash cans, out door furniture, and hanging plants.

There are to many things to list, so this is a good web site to check out.
