A Day Off

A rest day in the middle of the week is nice. Sam went to spend the day with Eric at his grandmother's house. So, my day has been quiet and peaceful. It is nice and restful after the bustle of last week.

We have a storm heading our way. Its name is Irene and not as powerful as Isabel, but the path is very similar. Check it out at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ which is the national hurricane center website. Notice how wide the prediction path is---that means that this girl could end up anywhere. Hopefully it won't do the damage that Isabel did. It is exciting to watch a storm slowly creep towards you--so different than a tornado watch. It's like watching a slow moving monster that can't be stopped. You can't stay stressed the whole time, but it...never...goes...completely...away.

But, we're not frightened for ourselves. Our neighborhood is not close enough to any body of water to worry about flooding. Unless Irene decides to go right up the James River we'll be fine. Just keeping our eye on her.
