busy day but it’s almost over. i was happy to talk with my dad and brother today to make sure that they were both fairing well with all the wetness down yonder. looks like fay is on her way here but, unfortunately, we’re not going to be here to welcome her. i’m actually a bit bummed because i think it’s going to be beautiful. weather on the gulf is really a whole different creature. alas, this is the weekend of the annual summer family gatherings up in al. DIL’s side tomorrow, MIL’s side sunday. i’m sure fay will be gone by the time we get back home sunday night.
