We have not had fun at our house.

We had a weekend that had 3 days. Sometimes when we have one of those, Mom gets a project and sometimes Mom and the big man go fun places and leave me at home which is not fun for me at all. On this weekend with 3 days, Mom, the big man, the people kid Julie and her man and the people kid Justin and his girl all went to the place where water goes very fast in the river with rocks called Ocoee. Mom and the big man go to this place sometimes and they get in boats and wear jackets and helmets and try to ride very fast in the river with rocks called white water rafting. It is very hard to do and people get hurt and wet all the time when they do it. Mom and the big man think this is very fun but I don't think it is. They went there and left me at home.

Mrs. Baptist and her little people kids came over every day and gave me food and water and they stayed for a minute to pet me and play with me. I like that. But they did not let me in the house and I had to stay outside and run from those stupid dogs that live in the yard behind us.

Mom and the big man were gone to the day that was Monday. I was asleep in my chair on the porch with the screen around it so the big grey cat cannot get in. I knew something was very wrong because Mom was not happy and she was limping around and whining. I kept asking her what was wrong with her and the big man said that when all the people were in the boat wearing jackets and helmets trying to ride very fast in the river with rocks called white water rafting, the BOAT TURNED OVER. All the people were dumped out in the in the place where water goes very fast in the river with rocks called Ocoee and they could not get back in the boat! The water was going very fast and the people were in the water and they got hit with rocks and it was very bad. Mom has black spots all over that hurt called bruises and she was very afraid in the river where the water goes very fast over the rocks call Ocoee. People had to get other boats and go out in the river with rocks and water going very fast and fish Mom out! I did not like that at all! If Mom gets hurt really bad, who is going to go to Walmart and get me some cat treats? Mom needs to take care of herself.

I was glad to see Mom and the big man and I was trying to make Mom feel better by sitting in her lap and purring while I tried to eat her chicken for supper. We were sitting at our table and the wind outside started blowing very fast and the rain started coming in all our windows. Mom and the big man had to hurry and close the windows. The wind was blowing harder and harder and I did not like it. Stuff started hitting our house and Mom got scared and ran to the closet to hide from the wind. I stayed in the kitchen with the big man in case he needed me to eat the rest of Mom's chicken. But then the big man got scared and ran to the closet with Mom. I got scared because the big man never goes to the closet to hide from the wind so I knew it must be bad. I went to the closet too.

We hid in our closet for a long time until the wind went away. Then we went outside to see what happened. Oh no! Our yard was a big mess with sticks and stuff all over it. Our nice tree fell down on our fence! The wind made it fall down.

And the wind messed up our flowers on our porch and made our rocking chair turn over! It was a mess! All our neighbors had messes in their yards too. Big trees were in our road and all over our neighbor's houses. Our lights went off and would not come back on.

Mom and the big man and all the neighbors had to walk around and see everybody's house and make sure all the people were OK. Mrs. Baptist and her little people kids were worried about me but Mom told them I was fine. I was in the closet hiding from the wind because I did not want the wind to blow me away. That would not be cool and I am a cool cat.
