Sunday Salon ~ East Coasters Stay Safe and Dry, Please!!

We're 'weathering' (hee hee!) Hurricane Irene pretty well here. I think the cats are the most upset because they are stranded indoors. Bob aka Big Sexy Bob took a risk and went outside around 2 a.m. when the rain and wind quieted down for a little while. I think he lasted all of about 6.3 minutes outside, just enough excitement to knock him out for the next 6 hours! lol The worst of the storm, so far, came in the middle of the night with heavy downpours and major wind for several hours. Today has been really quiet. The sun even peeked out earlier. About an hour ago the wind picked up again. The news is reporting an extremely large number of homes are without power. A good friend of mine in MA is one of them. I'm hoping other Bloggers are doing okay and staying safe.



I picked up Alice Bliss this morning while having my coffee and read for quite a while. It's a great book, I'm really enjoying it. I'm relieved, too, because this past week or so I seemed to be in bit of a reading slump. Nothing was exciting me and I have some terrific books to read here. Whatever it was Laura Harrington seems to have chased it away with Alice so fingers crossed that was it for my slump! I'm going to visit a few blogs now and try to finish up a couple of reviews, namely The Winters in Bloom by Lisa Tucker and Love Lies Bleeding by Jess McConkey.

I hope you're having a good Sunday.
Stay safe and dry and out of Irene's way!

    Glad you're o.k. thanks for stopping by, and yes indeed grumpy kitty is indeed complaining.

    Glad you're safe and sound.

    My cat would hate it, he refuses to go outside if there is even a slight drizzle in the air!

    Glad Irene was not too mean to you. My cats were really restless since I kept them inside all day yesterday. They've made up for it today by spending the wole day outside.

    I have to echo what everyone else has said -- v glad you and the cats are safe! My cats were big wimps and snuggled with us on the couch, and we're all dry and safe (and powered!).

    Glad to hear that Irene didn't cause you any problems. I was worried that you might have a hard time finding a place to go if you needed to relocate temporarily, with all of those cats!

    Glad you weathered the storm well. It ended up being pretty underwhelming in my area, for which I am thankful. I know others weren't so lucky.
