the hurricaine...that wasn't

Fay, Fay, go away...and she did.

Our first "hurricane" as Florida residents was kind of a non event. We bought our supplies, gassed up the car, went to the ATM, all the things that we were supposed to do, but Fay wasn't interested in us. That's a good thing, don't get me wrong, but I feel like we over prepared. Well, not really - I don't wish destruction on anyone, but boy, it was a lot of work to prepare for this. After the supplies gathering, we had to get our house ready and bring in all the crap from outside and store it in our den, which now looks like Kosovo. The only good thing is that we are going to take this opportunity to clean our outside area since it is free of stuff. A good old power-wash never does any harm, right?

We lost power for a bit during the storm but we have most things on battery backup, so there wasn't too much interruption for Steven (who worked from home the day of the storm).

Hopefully we have seen the last of hurricanes for a while, but if another one does rear their ugly head we are ready with lots and lots (did I mention a lot?) of batteries, water and canned goods. We're going to be eating green beans for a while this fall, I anticipate.
