IRENE COMES TO TOWN

The storm was a bit exciting - only really troubling when we had gone to get some groceries at a nearby town and the road to come home was closed due to flooding.  Thank goodness for the GPS!  We did have to go over one flooded road to get back to the house but we waited for a truck to go in front of us to make sure it wasnt too deep.  That was a bit much for me.  We stayed in the rest of the day and made a big stew dinner.  Chris Martin had gone and picked up Chris, and the boys so they hung out with us for the day.  All the games were cancelled on Monday as the storm blew through.  Only 4,000 people had power left in our town and thankfully we were one of them.  The cable and internet were out until last night but otherwise all was well.

I took some random pictures as we drove around. It's beautiful country where we are.  Nothing like being in the city.


This is "our house"
This is looking out the upstairs to the back 


Watching movies and hangin out!


The kids ran around the house playing tag


The boys went out to catch crickets in the rain



It turned out to be fun day despite the fact that we came here to play baseball and we've had no baseball yet!  There's lot to come .....
