I heard from # 2 son and he and his family have evacuated their home and traveled to stay with friends . Hopefully, the storm will calm down a little before making land fall.

TODAY'S SMILE

Laundry Delivery

It was 6 p.m., and an employee was about to leave the local coin laundry. Her boss called her over and asked if she would mind dropping off someone's laundry on her way home.
