Flamingo Status: hanging out inside the front door

The pink flamingo lawn ornaments are tucked inside the front door. After two weeks of glorious weather, the Rock fell subject to a helluva storm that made it rain sideways. The wind picked up in the middle of the night, causing the dog to stir and me to worry about the pink birds on the front porch.

With their presence throwing off the dog as he paces around the living room with his new chew toys (compliments of Gma and Gpa Cope), I curled up on the couch for a MUCH NEEDED day of rest: movies like Sound of Music and Thomas Crown Affair, and tv shows ranging from the Girls Next Door to Sopranos.

Too bad I don't have a new book to delve into. I'll have to stop by the library after the holiday.

My love to those in New Orleans and surrounding areas. I am thinking of you.
