Labor Day with Lee

 We have spent this entire weekend doing absolutely nothing. I was fortunate enough to have Friday off, too so my weekend started really early. I spent Friday stocking up on groceries so we wouldn't have to go anywhere during the storm. I know we live on the Gulf Coast and most of us go through all of our normal, daily activities during a tropical storm, but I personally do not like to get out in the rain. I will say there were many people stocking up on water, batteries, gas and all of those "storm supplies". I guess you can never be too prepared?!

It started raining Friday night and ALL day on Saturday. Fortunately, it was the start of college football so there really was no need to leave the house. Josh picked up some steaks for the grill and we did nothing but watch college football all day. That was a bit difficult for me to do. I had no problem watching Alabama football, but I am the type of person that likes to go "do something" for at least an hour or so on the weekend. It is difficult for me to just sit around and do nothing for hours. I usually end up shopping.  Another reason I need a hobby!

Sunday was STILL rainy. We always drive down to Grand Bay on Sunday to see our families. It looked like Grand Bay and Pascagoula got some of the worst of the storms. We really didn't get much severe weather in WeMo. There were quite a few limbs down and reports of high winds and possible tornadoes. All in all, it was harmless rain and wind. It was nice to have an extra long weekend where we had absolutely nothing we had to do but listen to the rain. It was relaxing.

Today was Labor Day! We spent lunch with my family at my Granny's house and dinner with Josh's parents. Another great day with family. The storm has passed now and we are enjoying much cooler weather. It is a very nice change! I am hoping it will last a good while. I am very ready for cardigans, scarves, boots, hats, and coats. My favorite time of the year is Fall! Hopefully we will see it very soon.

A short 4 day work week starts tomorrow and I am expecting to be very busy! Rumor has it I have over 30 voice mails and an untold amount of emails. Bring it!!!

Here are some pictures from a nice, long weekend, including a special guest (kitten) that looks kind of like a Kuala bear. If you look EXTRA close to the last few pics you can see the small rainbow.
