Jules...
...I was scared just watching your short videos. I can't even imagine living through it.
So grateful that you are okay and praying for those who weren't so lucky. :(
Thank You so much GG.....!!!
I'm still at work.....trying to get caught up.....
Yes, Its Sunday night....this week has been a blur........trying to remember what day of the week it is.......(small grin)..
Yes, so many lost everything.......Again.....!!!
Thank you darling......Talk to ya soon.......!!!!
Hi Julie!
Glad you and your family are okay! Can't imagine what a hurricane is like at all, nor losing everything you have...
Let's hope it will be a looong time before another one like Isaac pops up.
Like the way you stay positive, not only helps yourself but many times also the ones around you :)
Giulia and Paul Daniel, nice pic! I remember the face from a pic I've seen before, just don't know where hmmm. Hope you had fun over there in Halifax ( Is it the middle of nowhere or? )
Take care everyone, have a nice week and Jules I'm happy you managed to get though Isaac!
Bas
Had first college today so it's really starting now. Might be a little 'AFK' for longer periods
Jules,
Thanks for writing about meeting Dan. He will love that you posted his photo and video (although I am not sure if people really want to see that). :)
My kids took to Dan right away. He is a sweetie! Mike and the kids were swimming in the pool when he showed up.
Really happy to have met him finally. Next time, he will come to Ottawa. Or perhaps the big AAS meeting coming up? Location pending...
Bas, yes...you would recognize Dan. He was a regular on Doug's blog too.
So many friendships started there. It is nice.
Best wishes with college, Bas. It's okay if you are away from the blogs for a while. School comes first. Touch base when you can. We ain't going anywhere. Right, Jules?
Anyway, I want to just end with saying that I am so grateful you are okay, Jules. My heart breaks for the people in the photos...they have to suffer this again!!!
Can I give you an extra squeeze? ((HUGS)) Miss you, crazy lady!
xo
GG
Julie!
Giulia directed me to this post! Speaking of her, it was like meeting a movie star - I recognized her, even though I had never met her before! There she was, watching her family in the pool, and watching the front entrance to the hotel.
__________________________________
Bas! You remembered!
Julie. The recording of your voice, while watching Isaac come through, really sums up the experience.
P.S.
Giulia! Well...the 1st day of school...how was it? :)))
Hey Bas Man........You sure got that right...about.....having another Hurricane come through.....It is really scary!!!!!!.....
Thats why, I'm only allowed 3 glasses of wine....per storm per day........Yea, funny.....but my dumb ass was out there filmming.....like I'm some drunk ass....."National Georgraphic".........hot shot.....Jeez....!!
Not to worry, School is whats important....so...get your Azz on the "Deans List"........at least........

LOL!!! Oh for Pete's sake!!! DAN!!! A movie star, really?!? I actually felt the same way when I met Julie for the first time. I think I screamed, right? Ha ha...
Our time again chatting went by effortlessly...I think we could have talked another few hours no problem.
I promise next time, it will be longer. Maybe when Jules comes along! She wanted to be there!
Jules, we're only going up, my dear friend. I know you are proud of me. I'm learning! xox

You're welcome, Dave W! I'm glad that I had the presence of mind to make that brief recording. It captures the 1st moments of our visit.
________________________________
During the phone call [a few hours earlier] we arranged the time, and chatted about the upcoming school year. [her kids are just beginning in school]. I asked what she was like, when she was their age.
I decided to bring along that photo, which I only recently discovered. I don't remember seeing it before.
__________________________________
Julie, those photos of New Orleans-I've not seen those before. They look like personal shots, not official ones from CNN etc.
Those boats look awfully low in the water. I've heard that alligators are a possibility.
P.S.
Bas. Actually, Nova Scotia is just north of Nowhere!
Yes, GG.....Our "Aviation Family"........here is so Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't be happier,..and like anything in life, it is what ya make of it......and this 'Blog'......does NOT work, without all the lovely people, who visit.......!!! It's just that simple!!!!!

Hey Paul{Daniel}.....I am more than glad, to 'Post'.....this picture of you and your Father!!!
It is quite a 'Sweet' one and with the old "Holiday Inn".....sign...I remember from back in the
60's.......
The pictures of New Orleans, after the huricane, are ones I got off the internet, day after the storm passed.....they do tell a 'Sad Tale'.....for those who lost everything...!!!
And no there are no alligators in every backyard....as the
"Urban Myth" police would have you, to believe..;))))
and most folks are allowed to keep their
'wooden teeth'.....omg......!!!
Take Care..Paul{Daniel}
Hi Folks!
Hahaha, well that is, basically, the middle of nearly nowhere :)
Our dog's breed comes from there lol.
Dan, I remember a picture of you standing next to Captain Doug IIRC?
I still remember visiting his blog for the first time, then meeting everyone and look where we are now...
Have a great weekend everyone!
Bas
Oh gosh...looking at the photo again makes me smile!
Dan, you were a little cutie patootie in that suit.
*laughing* I love it!!!
And yes, the old Holiday Inn sign is the best.
Bas, you have a good weekend too!
Julie!!
Thank you for posting that pic. [check's in the mail]

Giulia!!! I especially like the black borders on that new avatar. It's like WIDESCREEN format in the movies.
As you can tell from the video, everyone, Giulia is exactly as she seems ONLINE. A warmth in her voice, and her manner - it makes me think that her young students are very lucky to be assigned to her. And I'm sure, that even though the school year is just days old, the kids realize their good fortune ALREADY!!!

In the latest pic, I resemble a secret service agent, without the earpiece. If memory serves, I often was packing heat in those days. Usually a snub nose squirt gun [loaded; with the safety OFF]
P.S.
Why Bas...you've got a good memory!!
@Dan--Ha Ha Ha...packing heat! Quite the tough guy!
Of course, Bas has a good memory. He's our smart cookie.
Happy weekend, everyone.
Just looking at the photos of Louisiana residents, again. Nature keeps being mean, and many residents still come back. And try, again. When I look back at those sunset photos, it's not hard to see why. :)
