Round of applause goes to...

Tropical Storm Fay and the media for making her seem worse than she really is!

Today's grand opening celebration was a little quiet because of Tropical Storm Fay.  Each hour of the day the weather was supposed to "worsen and the rain and high winds will continue through the night."  The reality is, it has just been a lot of rain.  We spent most of the day sitting on the porch watching the Main Street traffic turn in to the neighboring Piggly Wiggly for the typical emergency supplies.   I took a pick of our view from the front porch (see above).

Side note...Dad and I went to "The Pig" yesterday to beat the rush for emergency supplies.  It is so convenient to be able to walk next door and pick up the essentials.  We loaded our buggy with water, dog food (big bag), charcoal, bread...more water, etc., only to remember we walked across!  We should have paid the bag boy a little extra for wheeling the buggy to the property line and waiting for me to get the truck!  Oh geez...

Back to the storm.  It really has dropped a good bit of rain on us.  We have named the lake that is beginning to form in the back lot "Lake Celebrations."  We may be having a lake party next weekend.  (Lake pictured above.)
