is the rain ever going to end? got up this morning and it was still storming out. what the heck? there's no power. i can't watch tv on mom's computer. there's really nothing for breakfast. what to do? mom suggested we go find a restaurant. we all got dressed and gdad drove us into easton. there's a lot of mess in the roads. leaves and tree limbs are everywhere. on the bridge we drove past a miserable looking seagull. he was just standing there. we drove around for a bit but couldn't find any restaurants open. we did see some trees down and some flood water. the parking lot at one of the hotels had cars floating around. their storm drain backed up. oops.
in the end we went to the grocer store. mom ran and and returned quickly with a small carton of milk, corn chips, salsa and potato chips. i'm pretty sure the only thing i'm getting is a bowl of cereal. the big people have a much more interesting breakfast planned.
sure enough, we got home and i had a bowl of cereal. gdad got amish cream cake and dana and mom ate potato chips. what the heck? it wasn't all bad. mom let me have coco puffs, chocolate cereal- for breakfast, what a world.
the power was out so gdad finally dug out his generator and fired it up. it's just a small one. first things first he made a pot of coffee. after that the fridge was plugged in. then we all just sat around and looked at each other. i wanted to do all kinds of things like- use the computer, watch tv, turn on the lights to use the bathroom, flush the toilet but apparently you need electricity to do all those things. bummer.
at noon time the sun finally came out. phew. mom made me a quick samich. after i ate it was hop in the car time. dana drove me and mom down into oxford. the road was pretty clear. there were a couple trees down here and there but no signs of major damage. we went to check on dana's boat, it was fine. we saw a few flooded streets and places but dana didn't seem alarmed. she said those place always flood. so it looks like oxford made it through ok this time.
we went back home and found the power on. whoooo-hoo! mom ran around the house flushing toilets. then she turned on finding nemo for me. i didn't watch much of it because uncle matt and ronnie showed up. uncle matt invited me to join them at the park, hell yes! so i went to the park and had a blast. ronnie and i ran around like crazy people. it's nice to be out of the house.
