I fooled around on the computer making a print-out scrapbook for Mother's 96th birthday on the 8th.
We drove into town and went shopping at Walmart. Dick likes to get coffee there. I also bought a bunch of things for Mom's birthday. Then we did our cruise of downtown, and off to Mother's to do the trash. We had a good visit. Brought her up to date on the hurricane in Palm City.
In Florida, their phone was out most of the day, but by 3:30 they had power back, and also the telephone. So we were able to talk to them, and they're doing quite well. They went to Publix, but all that was for sale were items that had been left on the shelves before the storm. Nothing perishable. So they bought pop, cookies, pretzels, and all that kind of stuff. They drove past Palm City Elementary and it looked like there wasn't a whole lot of damage - some flashing had been blown off, but nothing structural.
The portables were still there, but Laurie is afraid that they might leak. Dylan remembered that there was a leak in the library before the storm. Hope they fixed that. Laurie said that she was not sending Dylan to school tomorrow in any case. She doesn't think the kitchen/food situation would be straightened out by tomorrow. Such a sensible Mom!
