Well, we should have known we couldn't go 2 years in a row without any hurricanes! This week starts the most likely period during the year for hurricanes, and we only made it to the letter "F" before we had problems. Tropical Storm Fay turned out to be not nearly as strong as was predicted, but (what do they know) the system stalled just as it was over Brevard County today. CJ had exactly 4 days of school, and now he has had 3 days off! :) The storm would be nothing to write home about except that it continued to slow and now stop, and has dumped at least 20 inches of rain in our area in about 36 hours, with more to continue! We are all going to audition for a musical here--"The sun will come out, tomorrow..." :) Much of Palm Bay is underwater at the moment, and the drainage ditch behind our home is now a full fledged canal. CJ and I have been home for 2 days and I'm going insane--but we will hopefully begin getting back to normal in the next day or so. Since I've been trying to write this post, the rain has almost completely stopped for the first time today. Maybe it'll be over soon. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know we are still here! :)
