rain and storms and saying goodbye....

Last night, we had thunderstorms, and 18 homes were damaged/destroyed between this town and the next one over, due to high winds. (no one was hurt) Thunder boomed through the night, and today we will get more storms...rain. But we had day after day of glorious sunshine, so we can't complain.

Tomorrow morning, we head back to New York...over 20 hours of driving. But I'm not going to think about that yet. We still have today, to spend with Grandma. Syracuse University's basketball team made it to the Sweet 16, and tonight they play...we will stay up late and watch it with Grandma...

Then tomorrow morning, we say goodbye. I have gotten used to the warmth, the green, the palm trees. The nice thing is that it's spring in New York. We may not have 80 degrees yet, but the warmth is just around the corner.

I brought the little girls breakfast in bed this morning. They ate cereal and had orange juice and waffles, lying in bed watching cartoons. Pretty soon we will head over to Grandma's place. I'm not sure what we will do today, maybe fit in a little swim or a dip in the hot tub, between downpours of rain.
