Hurricane Gustav came ashore today and hit New Orleans. The levies held so the damage wasn't as bad as it was with hurricane Katrina. The storm even got Baton Rouge. Maybe we'll get some rain from this storm. There's two more hurricanes out in the Atlantic that will probably hit the Carolinas.
The Republican Convention was scheduled to start today but the hurricane kept them from going through with their plans. They will just have a shorter convention and it will be better!
Went to Walmart and got Dad some cereal he was out of and got him another pair of lounge pants. We'll have to go through his drawers and make room for one more pair of pants. I got some padded hangers for some tops I have that have to be line dried. I washed the tops with a skirt and top that said to "hand wash", but they did alright and are being "line dried" now.
I cooked a pot to 15 bean soup today. I seem to get sleepy when I cook beans, so I took a short nap. I added extra water to the pot so I wouldn't wake up the the smell of beans burning in the pan. They turned out pretty tasty. They would have been outstanding with some onions and sour cream, but I didn't have any. Plus some hot corn bread, yum-m-m-m!

About Me
- Granny's Blog
- I'm a graduate of the University of Alabama,class of '66. I majored in music, piano and organ. I taught private piano lessons in Tuscaloosa for a year and then got a teaching job in Key West, FL. There I met my husband, Frank and four months later we were married. Have lived in Athens, AL since 1976. My children grew up in Athens. My husband is bedridden now so I add the title of care taker to the title of homemaker. I never wanted to work outside the home. I enjoyed gardening until I got breast cancer in 2002. I'm not able to do much garden work now, and I miss it. I enjoy going to the Wellness Ctr. to exercise. I enjoy making greeting cards and usually make a card or two each day. I love getting together with my daughters, Trudy and Mary Kate and my grandchildren. My son, Frank, lives in Knoxville,TN, so I don't see him often. He has 4 children. I enjoy being a grandmother.
