I sat down to write about the total lack of rain we've received since Fay hit Florida only to have the heavens open up and dump some rain down. Tampa has once again been spared a direct hit from a tropical storm/hurricane. Not only did Fay not hit us, most of the bands haven't reached us either. Unfortunately, the east coast of Florida has not been so lucky. 20+ inches of rain in Melbourne, FL. Expecting up to 36+ inches before Fay goes away. She's been hanging out in Melbourne moving at the almost non-existent rate of 2 mph. They predict she'll head west across the northern part of the state tomorrow. Sure hope Georgia gets some of the rain.
Hubby and I dropped the Singer off at college this morning. It was hard. I'll miss her. She's just a great kid, even when she was driving me batty, as only she knew how. She left Hubby and I a letter that we found this afternoon. It was a beautiful thank you letter for doing so much for her. The Imp is already missing her. Combine that with the stress of starting a new school...a school with 4 to 5 times the number of students as her K-8 school and the Imp is working hard to hold it together. I know she'll persevere, but it'll be work for the next week or so. She also began swim practice today.
The rain has already stopped, but I'm sure will get more of Fay's rainbands in the next few days.
