Hurricane Fay Advice

// August 18th, 2008 // No Comments » // Community, Cooking, Entertainment, Environment, Family, Ministry, Outdoors

Non-Floridians like myself are generally unprepared for hurricanes the first time. Have no clue what to expect or what to get ready. Well-meaning people try to describe what it is like to live through a hurricane and what preparations need to be made. Short of two emails, these conversations leave me in a fog.

Sometimes I see things that make me giggle. Most of the time these things have irony in them. Case in point is this web scenario I saw this morning when looking at the hurricane forecast for West Palm Beach. I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and trust you can find what is wrong with this picture in light of the fact Hurricane Fay is headed our way and may cause flooding.

I love that my daughters have the same persistent curiosity about life that my wife and I have. This afternoon’s birthday party had my daughters nudging the other kids for the front row seat at the backyard, portable petting zoo. They love exploring new things.

Here is the run down:
Donkey
Turtles
Rabbits
Chicks
Ducks
Goat
Sheep
Rooster
Piglets

Time to get back on the waterslide or in the bouncehouse or pool. Gotta go.

When mom and dad were over here in West Palm Beach a few weeks back, we went out to the South Florida Shooting Sports gun club where I am a member for some shooting. We took the whole family because Lily just loves to go out and watch me shoot. An incredible storm came up out of nowhere, so the shooting didn’t last long. We even were hailed on.
