Party of Two
Last night, Mother Nature really let loose with some gusty winds that had me listening and hoping that a tree didn't fall. The skylights in my bedroom were pounded with whatever was flying around in that wind. Normally, that would have set my dog, Gracie, into altered states with thoughts and behaviors of,
"The sky is falling!" and then there is no sleeping until the weather calms down. Surprisingly, she was calmer than usual in a storm.
It was about 3 AM and I was wide awake! I remembered that Flo had taught me that a 'hot cup of cocoa' could help restore sleep sometimes. As I made my way back with hot chocolate and a couple of Lorna Dunes, Grace waited to see what was next. The Game Show Channel had 'The Pyramid Game' on and that kept me from a massive channel surfing expedition. 
The hot chocolate was good, the Lorna Dunes were tasty [if you haven't tried one lately....mmm], and the TV show was mindlessly entertaining. When it was completed, it was back to sleep and the impromptu party for two was done!
As Flo says...good, good, good!
And she will be celebrating that 102 milestone on Thursday!! "Hm" !!! [her favorite word].

First of all, Congrats to Flo. That is just amazing.
Next, I'm so glad you didn't have any serious damage. Finally, thanks for letting us know how to have a good party of two and how to entertain oneself when one can't sleep. Now I must go buy some of those cookies.

Wow! 102! That is fabulous! I've never had a Lorna Doone. You've got me curious. I'm wishing for sunny, calm weather for you.
