Last weekend, Hurricane Irene tore through the Northeast. Some areas were hit worse than others. We were lucky -- we have no basement to flood and we were only without power for about 15 hours. Oh, and no trees fell near us, thank godzilla. The lake and streams around our neighborhood flooded worse than I have ever seen. A week later, almost every house has a pile of flood-damaged items sitting on the curb. It's a shame, but it certainly could have been worse.
In happier news, yesterday was our annual Labor Day barbecue. Despite a crappy weather forecast, the rain held off all day. The town canceled the fireworks, but I think the day was still an overall success. If you're not from South Plainfield, you don't quite understand the importance of Labor Day. I also get to share the day with a ton of friends, both new and old, and many that I only see a few times a year.
When I move out of this town, I'll surely be back the first Monday of September. Always.
P.S. I just got an e-mail from My Memories and it looks like I'll be hosting a giveaway for them -- right here on my blog! Check back in a day or two, I'll be posting a review of their scrapbook software, some coupons, and giveaway details! :)
