Hurricane Beryl is Coming!

Even though we live in North Louisiana, we are preparing for hurricane associated weather. We are currently under a tornado watch with severe thunderstorms on the way. We made sure we have batteries, water, and food prepared ahead. A crockpot full of roast with onions and garlic gravy is simmering with potatoes now. Fortunately, we have a gas stove so we can easily reheat for dinner if the electricity goes out. It will go well with the leftover purple hull peas left from last night’s dinner. There is a quarter of an apple pie left, just enough to start a good fight. I can pull a peach cobbler out of the freezer in case of a dessert emergency. We have those sometimes.

I am hoping the people on the coast don’t get slammed. I am grateful to be retired. Health care workers who get caught on their shifts in bad weather are likely not to get relieved. I have gotten stuck at the hospital as long as four days during bad weather. I am always concerned for all essential workers who have to stay at their jobs, too many to name, fire fighters, police officers, utility workers, maintenance people, and so many more. When we are snugged in at home, they are at their posts, and so many directly in harm’s way. I am grateful for all they do.

Thank you for all you do.
