We had a wind blow through here last year that knocked roof tiles off and sent my iron chairs and table across the balcony. Very, very scary. Was your patio cover damaged? I'm just glad that there aren't tornados here...that's one thing that I don't miss about home, tornado season.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147148590536843781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-73151231904940894582008-09-29T06:54:00.000+03:002008-09-29T06:54:00.000+03:00I'm afraid of wind, rather than lightning.

I'll try to make some time to post a recipe later this week...I dug one up yesterday after reading your comment. :)<BR/><BR/>Laurie, yes! All that you can do is try to laugh because if you don't you could go crazy. I'm close to crazy these days! <BR/>Ligtning is very scary. I was more afraid of it back home because our house is wood and lightning tends to be the cause of many house fires each year. <BR/>Yep, my slipper is back. But one of Iza's is missing now! :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147148590536843781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-39283566371742665452008-09-22T12:18:00.000+03:002008-09-22T12:18:00.000+03:00hey cheryl, if you have the time, post some pumpki...hey cheryl, if you have the time, post some pumpkin recipes: i'm dying to try out a good pumpkin bread recipeMaria Verivakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440852486788630957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-84225184194917327712008-09-22T12:11:00.000+03:002008-09-22T12:11:00.000+03:00Classic story of DEH encounter - they are absolute...Classic story of DEH encounter - they are absolutely maddening. I'm glad you were able to laugh because, honestly, that is all you can do.<BR/><BR/>The weather on the island finally broke on Friday, completely with thunder and lightning and very high winds. Luckily the power stayed on!! We were walking to dinner at a friend's house during the downpour. Of course, there aren't any storm drains, so by the time we got there we were wading through the water that had accumulated on the street. Except for here, I've never lived around lightning, so it always makes me nervous to be outside when its happening.<BR/><BR/>Glad you got your slipper back!Laurie Constantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662040688336742830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574444945294114193.post-22068256872906558102008-09-22T11:35:00.000+03:002008-09-22T11:35:00.000+03:00this is a great greek story, cheryl. i like the wa...this is a great greek story, cheryl. i like the way winter catches us by surprise, even in hania. it's been raining for the last four days - so early this year compared to other years when it comes in october - and i still couldn't decide how to dress the kids for school this morning!<BR/><BR/>but i know you agree with me when i say i love a good rainfall, and how refreshing it felt!Maria Verivakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440852486788630957noreply@blogger.com
