Here Comes Fay

Well Meghan returned to school today but due to Fay churning away in the Gulf, school has been cancelled for tomorrow. What a start to the school year. While as of right now school is only cancelled for tomorrow the chances are high that it will be cancelled for Wednesday as well.

While we actually reside on the opposite side of the state from where Fay is expected to make landfall, we are currently under a tornado watch until sometime tomorrow morning due the part of the storm are expecting.

While we do not look forward to these storms, they have their place in pleasant memories for the time we spend together as a family. Despite the stress of dealing with the preparations and the days without electricity, there is a special feel to those days when the outside world really ceases to be intruding on family time.

Of course, you have not lived until you eat spaghetti that you made on the grill. I was not talented enough in 2004 to make a cake on the grill but one of the people that I work with did.
