Dear Hurricane X,

These kind of things never happen when you're prepared . . . right?


Four AA battery operated TV!                 
 You can’t recharge if you have no electric.







Four D battery operated fan!
No electric  . . . no A/C.


Four D battery operated Lantern! 
Can’t find the Kitties in the dark.


And many cans of easy food. 
  
I have an old fashioned Swing-A-Way can opener, and a plethora of batteries at the ready!! 

Please stay away, Ruth

Waiting for a New Post . . .

. . . is like waiting for a Sunflower to Bloom!  








This is the Sunflower that had its start in the peat pot from the Science Museum!

Louisiana - The Pelican State

Map of La.
State Motto  -  "Union, Justice, and Confidence."

The purchase added to the United States a region very different from others on the American map. The United States government made Louisiana residents go through a trial period before admitting Louisiana as a state.


On April 30, 1812, exactly nine years after the signing of the Louisiana Purchase, Congress admitted Louisiana as the eighteenth state in the Union.     http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/
