All the weather forecasts show that TS Erika, hopefully not Hurricane Erika, is heading this way. It moved from going east of the coastline to now moving northwest and coming at our area from the west. Tentative arrival for this storm is Tuesday, the day Linda was to arrive. Thankfully Tommy arranged for her to come sooner and hopefully beat the nasty weather in so doing. Now I am only concerned that we might lose power which would be a problem for Linda as she can't take the heat. Justin ordered a second battery pack for our phones which we can use to keep them charged in case we do lose power. He is ever ahead of the game. I am going to locate my battery operated hand fan so Linda can use that if needed.
Today's weather was a test of our patience as it started out overcast, then cleared enough for some pool time to be enjoyed. But not for very long---we got thundered out of the pool so all went home to our own places. Nuts! At least I got to have lunch with some of my friends first. Ollavan even got to have one of my 'special' hot dogs which I gave Marlena permission to serve to her. Shhh!
Justin and I decided to have dinner at Metro Diner again, we are becoming regulars there! We are both trying to not be locked in to a certain entree, as is my custom, so we try to have something different. He had a Vortex burger which is ginormous, made with beef sandwiched between grilled cheese sandwiches. It's hard to explain---must be experienced to appreciate it! I had a three cheese grilled sandwich with bacon and tomato. We didn't have to wait for seating as we took 'first available' and ate on the porch. Every time I've been here, I think, it's been raining! I brought half of my sandwich home, as did Justin, which will be enjoyed another time. Love that Metro Diner!!
