Hoping to be back onboard now. <br />Hi Kathleen, yes it is great booty. Will have to find a great place in SC for it. I am glad I got my yellow rose back as well. <br /><br />Hi Cameron, as I write we are having another high tide cycle, though not high enough to float stuff in or out. <br /><br />Hi Ginger, thanks. :-)<br /><br />Hi Debbie, screaming doesn't help, neither does crying...just wears you down. I remember hearing of some flooding out your way.<br /><br />Hi Dave, I assumed it was a banana it could very well be a Bird of Paradise, whatever-- it's mine!!<br /><br />Hi Phillip, good idea, that would be fun.<br /><br />Hi Sweetbay, Maybe you need to send the bottles downstream with a message like Phillip said.<br /><br />Hi Rose, it is interesting what we 'share' living on the water. While Blackbeard is from this area, I doubt there is any pirate booty floating in.<br />(and you can keep your tornadoes!)<br /><br />Hi Grace, thanks ma'm! I have the banana tucked safely away in my garage.<br /><br />Hi Randy, my thoughts exactly!<br /><br />Hi Lona, I am glad the rose returned as well. I really dislike trash, it is so rude.<br /><br />Hi K, you are one Wacky woman!<br /><br />Hi Catherine, It is an interesting way to do things. <br /><br />Hi Noelle, I am hoping the storm booty takes a rest, no high tides, no storm booty.<br /><br />Hi Lisa, after Isabel the washing up into the yard of things was most amazing. Now it is mostly trash or small stuff. There is a lounge chair in the marsh that no one has been able to get to yet. <br /><br />Hi David, thanks!! Can't fight Mother Nature, might as well accept it. Glad you like the rose photo, I take that as a big compliment.<br /><br />Hi K & V, advantages and disadvantages, but I do like living on the water.<br /><br />Hi Skeeter, water really pushes things quickly doesn't it? Hope the topic for the dinner table was fun!<br /><br />Hi Pam, I can't even imagine the storm surge and deposits from Hugo, that was so big. I think a mosaic would be pretty cool.<br /><br />Hi Gail, thanks! Hope to find a great new home in SC for the banana.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-64209821213376836402010-03-14T16:18:18.095-04:002010-03-14T16:18:18.095-04:00What a great story of comings and goings!

I have a bowl of this, and I know when folks come to visit they often wonder why they keep seeing tiny pieces of glass everywhere. I just say 'Hugo'. I want to do something with the pieces of clay/porcelain - perhaps use them in a mosaic.Pamhttp://www.talesfromthelaboratory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-22541140790564930672010-03-11T14:10:25.323-05:002010-03-11T14:10:25.323-05:00OMGosh!

I would die to loose something I cherished to Storm Booty but then again, happy to receive gifts from Storm Booty! <br /><br />We get storm booty from our neighbors in the form of balls, cups and toys. As the rain washes through our run-off ditch, so do the toys the kids leave outside.<br /><br />Storm Booty will make for a great topic at the dinner table tonight. Thanks for the chuckle. I sure am getting a lot of chuckles from blogs today…Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-33908806785598274892010-03-10T20:02:21.838-05:002010-03-10T20:02:21.838-05:00Great post!

Hey, the banana tree will look nice at your new home. ;-)<br /><br />We use to have a stupid neighbor who upon every flood would dump all his trash in the creek. I mean everything. He didn't seem to care that it ended up in someones yard downstream, that he was trashy the creek or some kids might step on it while swimming.<br />Nowadays he would probably be paying enormous fines. I am glad you do not have a neighbor upstream like that but in this case it would most likely wash back to him.
