What is it with the letter "I"?  The first hurricane we truly encountered since we lived here was Hurricane Irma, last year it was Hurricane Ian.  Now we are expecting Idalia!  All start with the same letter! What are the odds on that?  The rain part should begin later today but the actual landfall of the storm won't be until sometime Wednesday. At least that's the story for right now.   
And according to the map, a t this very moment, it seems to be heading north of us. Which means we will mostly just get heavy rain and wind.  But things change and honestly nobody, including the weather people, know anything for sure.  I guess we will all learn about it at the same time.

Tim and I headed over to the jetty last night to see what we could see.  There was a brisk wind, much cooler temperatures and some awesome clouds:
Other than a few people stopping by to take photos like us, the jetty and the beach were the least crowded we've seen in months!  I was able to line up a couple of fun shots of other photographers tho.  Perspective, sometimes, is everything!
We saw two little girls blowing soap bubbles and watching the wind carry the bubbles away.  They were sort of enchanting.  I didn't even try to take a photo of the children but I got one of the bubbles. You may have to do a Where's Waldo level search to find them, but I assure you, the bubbles are there:

Once the rain reached us, we headed home but quickly outpaced the storm and found, instead, a magnificent rainbow!  Naturally, I paused to take pictures of that too:
Our weekend started out so good too.  We had a Minock Weekend!  Yay!  They drove down Friday late afternoon so we got to have dinner together and then hang out just talking and laughing, way way way too late.  But up bright and early to share breakfast (and talk more). The we split up girls/guys to hang out for awhile.  She and I walked the avenue and poked around the shops. (and talked more!) Then we all met up again at the house and talked and laughed still more until it was time for them to hit the road and go home.  How on earth do we come up with that much to talk about??  I dont' know, but we always do :)

It was a GREAT beginning of the weekend.  And now we wait to see what Idalia will bring us.  Fingers crossed that it's all much ado about nothing. 

If you dont' hear from me later this week, it only means that we've lost power. I'm sure we are absolutely fine and eventually I will be back to post the rest of the story on the storm.

Everybody hunker down, stay safe and we will meet again soon!

Hugs all 'round

    Yup, this is me. Some people said, "Sam, you should write a Blog".   "Well, there's a thought", I thought to myself. And so here it is.
