T. S. Fay

We have been adopted by a kitten/cat.  We are going to try to find out if it has any owners this week and if not; I guess we are hers.

Looking past my house at the flooded street, the drain was not draining correctly.

Flooded woods

Here is a street light we saw in front of the mall while out driving during the storm today.  The streets were not too bad.  We only ran into two that we could not drive down.  There were only two traffic lights out-due to power outages, and then this traffic light.  Oh and there was a down line of some sort in front of our neighborhood.

Here is the rainfall from wunderground.com.  If you look in the lower right quadrant you will see a circle with an cross in it, just above the interstate 95 sign, that is around where our house is.  You can see all of Jacksonville area has gotten a min. of 8 in, some are in the 15-25,  we are in the 12-15 inch area and it is still raining.  It stopped for awhile this afternoon and we cleaned up a bunch of branches in the back yard.  The woods area is flooded, but nothing close to the house. 

1st day of school 2008-2009

I forgot this morning to take picture of my children on the way to school so we took picture tonight.  We always get a new lunchbox, so we remember the year-2008.  Can you believe they are in 2nd and

 4th grade

Cookin'

Today it rained most of the day so the kids each invited a friend over to play.  Tomorrow is the last day of summer fun.  We have teacher orientation and the PTA has ask that we bring cookies to go with lunch.  Each of my kids made a different cookie with their friends.  We made almond, peanut butter with herseys, energy bars, and chocolate bar cookies.

zoo day

After the zoo we went geocaching for a couple hours.  My friend Trina need 6 caches to get to 500.  We finally got #500 for her.

 

We decided to go to the zoo before school started.  We woke up this morning to pouring down rain.  Our zoo day had already been rained out once and Sage had been really sick the other time, so we decide to go ahead and go today.  We took off to meet our friend Trina up there.  It was still pouring when we got there.  After walking through the gift shop we took off through the park.  It was still drizzling. The animals were so active, we had a great time and there was no one in the park.
