Poor Little Blog

Poor ignored little blog. However, I've been up to my alligators in eyeballs with church dissolution issues and a couple of pesky health problems.

But, for today, I have a little something to share so the poor little blog won't feel quite so ignored.

Yesterday, I went to the local disaster preparedness seminar which has been held each year since Her Horribleness about a month before hurricane season starts. They've been trying to improve attendance and this year offered door prizes to attendees.

Throughout the day, names were drawn from a hat and people received shirts and cool tool sets and gift cards for various neat places. Now, I rarely ever get my name drawn from a hat and, when I do, I always get one of the really crappy prizes. I like watching the winners, though, and seeing what they get, so I stayed to the end. (Plus, the presentations were good and I got all sorts of good information, which was the REAL reason I went.)

At the end of the seminar, they awarded the grand door prize. I won this:



It has 5 burners and a little refrigerator. The irony? I don't cook! God has such a delicious sense of humor!

At least I'll be able to eat the next time the power is out. Thanks, Jefferson County Emergency Operations! It's a beauty!
