It is so refreshing to find someone doing business that takes pride in their work and cares about their reputation.

Almost a year ago I had my bedroom and bathroom painted. It was fairly costly because before they could paint, they had to remove wallpaper from both rooms. It took them a couple of days and I was first impressed because one of the painters was a woman and before they left she actually cleaned up after them.

Last month I noticed that the paint was peeling in spots, mostly in the bathroom. I e-mailed the painter and he came out to look at it. He said it was because they didn’t get all the glue off from the wallpaper. It can look like it’s all off and then this is how they find out it wasn’t. Now they are coming over to re-paint both rooms for free.

It’s only right that they do that and it’s sad that I should even be impressed that a business is doing the right thing, but I am. (Especially since it’s not usually my luck to find someone good out of the phone book!) Yeah for L&S Painting!!!!

I really like hurricanes. The wind, the sideways rain, the total energy in the air. It’s just the coolest thing in the world.

Granted Panama City is in sort of a protected area somehow….we don’t seem to get direct hits very often. Almost always they hit to the east or west of us. And the area where I live in the city isn’t prone to flooding, either. Last year a tornado came within 1/2 mile of us, so that was a little scary….or would have been if I’d been awake when it happened.

Alberto is just the beginning of another long year of storms, so they say. I have relatives in Ft. Pierce, Palm Bay and Ft. Lauderdale and I think it’s safe to say none of them like these storms at all. They all had a lot of damage from them last year, so we need to keep them in our prayers this year.

But for me, bring ‘em on! I’m ready! And hopefully this won’t be the year that we get a direct hit and I have to eat my words! : )

If you like country music, this is great. If you don’t like country music, watch it anyway and turn off the sound.  The really cute guy in the video is my nephew…..
