The rain has finally subsided, but we got about 4 1/2 inches within a week. Then, last Thursday, the winds came. So, combine mushy wet ground with high winds, and the result is trees down - pushed over or pulled up at the roots.


One of our dear friends is (re)opening the local general store . . . on a MUCH better, previously-unmatched level. Tom went down on Saturday morning (as did my dad) to help move some of the massive coolers and display cases back inside now that the commercial-grade floor has been put in. They're hoping for a November opening, but I know she's hit some unexpected snags (state requirements / inspections, etc.) along the way that may postpone things. But, already the locals are getting restless - craving the good, home-cooked meals with a glass of wine that her establishment will provide!
More later. My day is calling. :)
