You are definitely in our thoughts Carl, and Christine. And also thinking about Shane and his big wedding day coming up soon. Lots of great blessings for local ANers this year.
Just as the storm was rolling in my oldest was playing a baseball game in west Cary. They have been the bad news bears since their brand new team started the season, 0-10. But they were ahead 9-2 after 4 (of 6) innings. The top of the 5th the other team came back strong 9-8 when the hand of God opened up the heavens and forced the ballgame, cancelling out the 6 runs they had scored and handing our Wildcats their first, and hopefully not the only win of 2011 season. The drive home was a deluge, and Julie tried 5 different roads back to our house which were all blocked by downed trees. The last road she tried was blocked but had firemen on hand who cleared the road pretty quickly. Henry was home catching up on PS3 when the storm hit. He huddled in the pantry closet on the phone with Julie when the storm went over. Brave little fella!
