It feels like so long since I've written anything for the blog. I guess two weeks IS a pretty long time.
We had a really hectic week two weeks ago - lots of storms, power outages, etc. Plus we were rushing to get some things done for the kite festival and then to get ready to go to Milwaukee to perform at a kite festival there.
What a crazy week! We dodged tropical storms and hurricanes here only to run into a major storm front in the Upper Midwest. Chicago and Northwest Indiana got over 10 inches of rain in 24 hours - a record for them. Roads were flooded and closed. Interstate 94 - a major east-west highway across Michigan, Indiana and Illinois - was closed for three days in northern Indiana. Our kite festival was on hold most of Saturday and completely washed out on Sunday. That's the first time that's happened in 30 years at this event.
We did get to see a bunch of friends over the weekend. And we got to spend a little bit of time with our daughter Amy and granddaughter Kennedy. That was pretty hectic also because we spent all day Monday moving Amy and Kennedy into an apartment.
But they're settled now and we're back on the island safe and sound and glad to be home. The puppies were glad to see us. Even though a friend was exercising Chocolate everyday, Elaine said he was a pistol and quite full of himself when she rode him yesterday. I guess he's glad she's home too.
More about the trip soon.
