Hurricanes, Do They Come In Twos?

I am fretting somewhat for my sister Nancy who is going to experience something that she has never lived through, a hurricane. Not only is she going to experience one, it looks like she will be going through two. What are the odds of that? Old mother nature is stirring the Mid-Pacific pot by churning the wind, waves and rain into a phenomenal event. Hopefully Nancy will weather the two storms without too much discomfort. I have traveled to Hawaii often and it saddens me how vulnerable the people are actually to volcanos, earthquakes, tsunamis, and storms. 

Iselle, center, and tropical storm Julio, right.

On the brighter side, next week will be my last week working as an interim Director of Nursing. Yippee! What can I say but its almost over. I have enjoyed and I also thank the many folks that have helped me make these past few months memorable. They are a great bunch of workers at Highland Park Care Center. A new permanent DON has been hired that will be starting soon and that makes Linda and I so VERY happy!

My garden is starting to produce and I got my first full picking of green beans last Sunday with many cucumbers and kohlrabi. Will be putting up pickled beans soon, yum!

My condolences go out to the Voss family. Galen's 96 year old father Bud crossed over to the other side last evening. Happy Trails goes out to that old cowboy...
