Isaac

        Interesting, we have lived in Key Largo for almost 10 years. We have dodged a direct hit from hurricanes for the majority of those years. Now, when we are trying to sell the house and in need of a new roof - TS or Hurricane Isaac comes calling!  Here we sit in an almost empty house with about three days ahead of rain and wind. We have been having distant cousins of Isaac (feeder bands) come calling since Friday and he isn't even due here until Sunday!!  And now...instead of having the yard sale we had planned for this weekend, Darrell is making jokes about having a hurricane sale instead!
        TS Isaac did not allow another sale but we have been able to empty the house anyway. How do we accumulate so much STUFF?!?!?  
        Ever feel like a yo-yo?  The closing on this house makes me feel like one!  The roofers showed up right after the storm was past and got the roof done in 2 days - plenty of time to close on Friday. We scurried and made multiple trips to Salvation Army to get things gone. Habitat for Humanity is getting some of it on Friday. NOW, today, we learned the bank was not ready for closing on Friday!
        Regardless, I am flying back to the boat and the dog on Sunday. We are still not 100% sure whether Darrell needs to stay back or go!!!  I am looking forward to diving Saturday with my second favorite dive buddy, Rachel. And of course, we are squeezing in last minute plans with our dear friends here as much as we can.
