Storm!

Hear tell there's a tropical storm/hurricane passing nearby! Steve and Shana went out to Port this morning, planning on doing some shopping and picking up a team coming from the US. We hope they make it back tomorrow before the worst of the storm hits. But it's already really, really raining and blowing a little. With a glowing candle on the table and the rain pattering on the roof it feels cozy inside. However outside there are several getting drenched as they batten down for the storm. I guess it's supposed to hit Jamaica tomorrow night as a hurricane and eastern Cuba on Thursday as a tropical storm. But, storms can and do change direction and force! So it will be interesting to see what happens as we wait it out. Meanwhile things are relatively quiet as the Haitians stay indoors during the rain (I don't blame them!), the littlest are sleeping, and Jaron and Jere are out working at storm proofing things around here along with a couple of the girls. Jaron just finished his school work for the day, and I want to get a nice supper started. What a treat--we actually get chicken!
