Fay is finally fading (or so they say)
We are on day four of Tropical Storm Fay and she has finally eased up. After dumping about 1 foot of rain on Orange City in two days we got a break in the rain today and escaped to the store for some essentials: milk, dog food and chocolate chip cookies. We attempted to mail a letter at the post office, but that didn't happen (pictures below). Several roads where closed around us and Drew missed four days of school (after only one day in second grade), mostly because of strong winds. The one day must have worn him out. When he heard there was a chance school might be closed, he goes, "Boy, I really needed a break." Typical Drew. But after four days we were all getting a little crazy around here. I think Chloe is most relieved, literally. Now she can resume outdoor potty trips unaccompanied : ) She didn't fully appreciate efforts I made to shield her from the rain with an umbrella.
