Windy day!

All night long the wind has been howling. This morning when the boys were getting ready for school, a huge gust moved our picnic table and chairs over, slamming it into our grill and breaking a piece off it (the grill). This is a heavy table with a thick glass top! Dave has to go to Buffalo today. I hope he doesn't blow off the road!

Good thing everything is still on the deck! Why don'tcha blow on over for a visit?

Our schools were delayed for 2 hours because of high winds. I'm glad your table didn't blow over and the top break. That is what happened to our friends table on a windy day during the summer.

That sounds scary. That is the same MPH the wind gusts were at the coast when Denis and I were there.

When do I get to meet my new cousin?

I'm very nervous to leave a comment on your blog now, Rachel, because I am worried I will get put on Dave's "list". I do hope he didn't blow away and you got him back safe and sound.

I heard the Throughway was closed betw. Roch and Buffalo. ...

Rachel said...

Gmj- It was, Dave had to come home the slow way. One of my patients was stuck on the thruway for 6 hours though...just sitting in his car. Dave was very fortunate that he got on the thruway early enough in the morning to get off.

Heather- You're funny! Only those who tease Dave get put on the "list".

Rachel said...

Sherman- Come on over!

Oops, I meant to write Gudl up above, not gmj. (when I was talking about the thruway)
