Our Lady

Tea Light and Our Lady
Before Hurricane Gustav sprinkled its way up here I spent $7.71 on hurricane supplies. We were advised to stock up on bottled water and food supplies that could be eaten out of a can.

Our limited funds meant we would have to risk it. We did have a manual can opener on hand so whatever was in the pantry could be opened.

I did end up going to the Family Dollar store and getting two white Lady of Guadalupe candles and two packages of tea light candles. I guess that means we are as stocked up as we are going to get. Now it's just wait and see what path Hurricane Ike is going to take.

P.S. I'm proud to say we've got six cans of tuna waiting as storm riding nibbles.

Hurricane Gustav Didn't Stop the Pick-Up

Plain Ol' Blue Can
...the rains are here from Gustav and our recycling just got picked up. That's dedication!

I'm not the only one who loves their new blue can. Darrell Rebouche and Robert Trudeau like'em also. This month another part of Shreveport will get roll their recyclables to the curb.
