We've been home from Oregon since last Wednesday and it has been crazy! Russ went right to work on Thursday morning and instead of the 3 days he has to prepare for Orientation, he had 2 hours. By 10:00 he had all these 8th graders and their parents in his classroom, wondering how the year was going to be. Russ wondered too! Then on Sunday, we went to Jarod's Scout "Back to School" gathering and he found out everyone had already decided he was going to be the Assistant Cub Master for the Pack! Guess that's what happens when you work for the scouts for 6 weeks! Needless to say, by Monday he was good and grumpy!
We took Jarod to his Orientation on Friday. He settled right in and was very excited about school starting. Although both he and Anne wanted to sleep everyday until 11:00 as their bodies were still on Oregon time. We finally have that turned around.
We've decided that God knew exactly what we needed and has given us some down time. We were in school for three days when Tropical Storm Fay hit Florida and shut down the Jacksonville area. So, we have had three, much needed, lazy days here at the Franklin house. Those three days may turn out to be more, as we are surrounded by water and cannot get in or out of our driveway. We are very thankful for our hill. The creek that this has come out of is expected to crest today so we think this may get worse before it gets better.
Still high and dry - just surrounded.....
Our Back Yard
This is the swing set - the swings are under water.

Our mailbox. I don't think we'll have any mail deliveries today...
We'll keep you posted on our water situation, so, bookmark us and keep checking back. Until next time.......
