Oy! I don't remember hurricane season being such a big deal when I was a kid on the Gulf Coast, but the last few years have been just hideous! There's a really good chance that Ike could threaten me, my business interests, or my loved ones in the next week or so!
Ike mistreated Tina, and now he's working Miss Ginger's nerves!
Anyho, the whole thing reminds Miss G of one of here favorite Dolly Parton numbers:

Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my house 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you
All you got to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and blowin down my fences!
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go
[Instrumental Interlude]
All you have to do is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
And here I go
Here I go
And here I go
And here I go
Here you come again
Here I go
Here I go
And here I go
Here I go

Boy G heads back to NOLA tomorrow to try to prepare for the store openings, but if Ike heads that way it's gonna get ugly! Watch for updates!

As soon as I saw the title of this entry, my brain said, "Lookin' better than a body has a right to..." LOL
Have a safe trip, and I hope for everyone's sake that big bad Ike ends up being nothing more than a little pipsqueak.
Be safe,
Beth

P.S. Hope you find some cake in NOLA. <grin>
I had to laugh Paul (my other half) was half asleep when I mentioned Hanna and Ike, he asked me if they were my southern friends....Ummm no, they would make horrible friends. I do hope Ike settles down and doesn't cause much of a brouhah...
Thank you for including the lyrics to that song. These days reading them is as close as I get to hearing them. The song choice was perfect! (Hugs)Indigo
I remember seeing Ike and Tina at my Prep School in '64 before the big time. Hated him, loved her and still do! Bad (H) Ike take a hike and leave Miss G and friends alone. Dannelle
Hope that Ike is not as bad as they are potentially forecasting. Last I heard was that Florida was more in danger, but your map indicates it has changed course.
Have a successful and safe trip to NOLA :o)
