My mom and MMBF finally got their electric back today. Woohoo!
My mom found out she has Lyme disease again. Poor mom.

How is that my fault?
My lawn looks absurd. It is very scruffy and uneven because I had to set the mower to it's highest setting to cut the grass because the grass had gotten really tall. It looks like a rejected shag rug. That was attacked by a child wielding a dull scissors. With poor depth perception. Who couldn't walk a straight line. And maybe had some Scotch.
And the grass had gotten so very tall because I never got a chance to mow it. And by "never got a chance to mow it" I mean whenever I had a chance to mow the lawn it was too hot or I didn't want to.
So, not really my fault.

Grilled
We all went to Sarah's house last night for dinner, it gave my mom and Rick a chance to spend the evening bathed in the glow of electronics since their power is still out.
Mike is a grilling master and when they invite you over for grilled anything the answer is yes before they finish asking. Last night was tuna, he has perfected the art of grilled fresh tuna steaks still pink on the inside. This is my almost favorite, right now grilled tuna is up there with salmon, my long time obsession. I'll have to convince them to have a grilled tuna/salmon taste-off where I will promptly declare a tie and insist we try again the following week.
Last night the tuna served with cold beer, hot corn on the cob, and a very silly 2 year old made any problems from the day quickly dissolve.

They get tuna steaks from their neighbor the
same day he catches it. How fresh is that?!

For the love of Keurig
Rick's coffee-pod drawer.
You are looking at 55 mornings of caffeine. Comforting, isn't it?
And then she was gone
Hurricane Irene whipped in to town, knocked out my power for 15 hours, flooded the basement and then with a final flick of her windy tail moved on.
My mom's power is still out, her road is closed from fallen trees that took the power lines with them. They are estimating her power will be out for several more days.
DAYS.
Today the sky is beautiful, like nothing ever happened.
