We are as prepped as we can be. Coffee and hot water are in the carafe for tomorrow. I have been cooking up a storm... I guess I cook when I am worried! Bread baked in the bread machine, brownies baked in the microwave since I am still waiting on the delivery of my new oven later this week. FYI - 9 minutes in the pampered chef deep covered baker for a brownie mix =).
Dinner is in the crock pot cooking away. I think it is time to sit and watch Guy's grocery games and put a few stitches in on the trip quilt. Hey, as long as the dish is still working I'll watch!
The kids are now staging rescues with their fire, police truck and copters through the house. We have played chinese checkers, they ran the cafe for lunch (grilled cheese, fried fish and hot dogs with tater tots on the side!). The rain is coming down pretty good now but the winds are not bad. Things will change in the early morning hours but until then we are doing just find in a nice secure house. Now I understand why they use block concrete or poured concrete (like mine thank goodness!) to build houses down here in Florida. 4:30 PM and all is fine in SW Ocala FL.
Linking up with Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching. Time to pop the laptop back on the charger =).

I have been watching / listening to online weather coverage off and on today / glad to see both you and Angela posting and even the blogger / gardener friend in SE FL got online today for a brief update.
Stay safe, snug and secure :)
so glad to hear you and Angela are both well, I have several readers with family in Naples and they just lost their power I guess - hope all well be well!!
Thinking of you as we sit and listen to the wind whip by. Hurricanes always seem to come in the dark when it is scarier. Hopefully you can sleep through part of it and Irma will move past tomorrow.
Glad to hear all is well and you're secure and ready! I hope Irma passes by with minimal damage!
You've certainly done all that you can to prepare. We heard on the news tonight here, that the storm deviated and isn't as strong as expected - but of course, very strong winds and lots of rain/flooding. Keep safe.
