I woke up at 6:40am on my own before the alarm went off.  Imagine my surprise when my mom told me school had been canceled for today, so families, including teachers and school staff, could prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Harvey.    I went back to sleep for a little while.

I finally got up around 7:45am and had three pieces of raisin toast, one frozen, and two toasted.  Then I had a bowl of Cheerios.    Mommy left for work and I talked Barbara into coming outside to play baseball with whiffle balls because a storm is coming and I won't get to play until it is over.  We played until I was tired.  I tried hitting left-handed and I hit five home-runs!  Any ball that flies over the sidewalk is considered "out of the park." 

My dad came to get me around 9:45am.  Mimz bought a generator in case her electricity goes out during this storm.  Last hurricane, which was before I was born, at my home we were without electricity for several days.   Grandma had a generator then.  Now that generator is at The Pond so we don't have one at my home.   If GGM, Mommy, and Barbara lose electricity they will go visit Grandma if the storm is not raging.
