Big Ole Hairy Friday

Pray for their Safe Return

Yes it is once again that time of the week that we all look foreword to, when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is once again the dawn of another weekend and a Big Ole Hairy Friday.

This is kind of a bittersweet BOHF, for the last five years this is the last day of work for Michelle and I before we started our vacations and prepared for our Cruise aboard the Carnival Pride. We actually had this years Cruise booked, but cancelled a couple of months ago due to the fact that both of us switched companies this year and while she has the time built up, I do not yet. It was a tough decision but one that had to be made.

Well come to find out that due to Hurricane Irma which is one of the strongest Hurricanes on record getting ready to inflict some major devastation where ever it hits, and now Hurricane Jose is rearing up right behind her and it's projected path would have been the direct path we took to Grand Turk. The Carnival Pride was scheduled to go to the same places this week as it was going next week, but all of those locations have been changed. Next week's cruise (the one we were scheduled on), is going to make a decision today as to whether they are going to cancel this weeks cruise on the Pride due to the Hurricane and Safety Concerns. I feel a heck of a lot better knowing that I cancelled on my own rather than anticipating going on our cruise now and having them cancel it.

We have family in Punta Cana right now on vacation, and Tom and Tommy Green and need your thoughts and prayers as they are hunkered down and preparing for this CAT 5 Hurricane to hit them. They have moved them more inland to a more secure location, but they are not out of danger and they and everyone else needs your thoughts and prayers for a safe return at this time.

UPDATE: We have heard from them and they are OK.

Have yourselves a great day.
