We survived the storm!!!

hello to all from MELBOURNE, FL!!!
mike and i made it through tropical storm Fay...we were truly singing Fay Fay go away...
it was pretty bad around here last week. flooding everywhere. i had to leave my car at the community pool on wed. night and walk home through the floods. they were thigh high at some points, it was not fun to do after working all day. our house stayed dry, the road in front of our house was flooded up to the top of the side walk. when i was walking home from work through the water, the winds were blowing so fast that there were white caps in the road. it was crazy. Fay took forever to leave us. even yesterday we were getting winds and rain! she moved at 2 miles per hour over our county.
i wish i wouldn't have lost our camera i could have pictures for you guys...but i am sure you've seen it in the news. i just think its awful how the news casters have to stand in the deepest of water and make it look so bad. i mean it was bad, but...ya know how they are.
other than fay...everything is well here! just working and playing...
oh yeah...mike signed up for a hockey league, he plays on Friday and Sunday nights...its a lot of fun to go and watch him play...except his games are so late! his game on Friday was at 1130PM, and tonight it is at 1045pm! i am going to try to go, at least i don't have to work in the morning.
see i could even post pics. of mike playing hockey...if i could only find the camera! i did such a great job at cleaning my house one day, i cant seem to find where i put it!!
any ways!!!
i hope this finds everyone well!!!
miss you all and love you too!!!

Good to hear you weren't flooded out. A lot of other people were. That Fay was a real doozy, but it could have been worse.

I'm glad you made it through Fay. I have not been watching the news, I didn't know it went by you - I guess it was all over the state.
