Well, here we are again.  Summer flew by, as usual, and our kids come today.  Of course, we don't know if we'll be here Tuesday due to the hurricane!  <Edited:  Well, it's official...we've had one day of school, and now we are off tomorrow due to the hurricane threat!  Augh! >  <Second edit...We had school today, Wednesday...now we are out again tomorrow since the storm is turning inland again and we will be on the border of the feeder bands.  So far this year, school feels like vacation did!><Third edit - We are out again, since the storm is right over our area now!>
