    Down here in Pensacola we get them fairly often. Hope that everyone up there is ok.

    I'm assuming everything was ok since you went out for sandwiches in a later post! I dread hurricane season, I think they followed me from Pensacola to Norfolk. I'm envious of Jen's view - not too shabby.

    For us in Boston, it was just a lot of rain and a little wind. So we were lucky.

    Jen's view is totally awesome and at night the wind rips around the house like you ar4e at sea.

    I have always loved Rocky Nook, I spent every summer there and when I married I bought a house there. I was in that house for 28 years.
    Mine was up the street from Jen's, not on the water, but i loved it anyway.

    I actually read your house post, I can't imagine but could relate. Since flight school we started buying where we're stationed, every three years we move, I always make the yard and house amazing (like Secret Garden amazing) and then just walk away. It breaks your heart a bit each time, and it's only 3 years. 28 would be rough.

    Well, how I get through is imagining that the person who bought it finds things and likes them.

    You should read this post from Kanani.

    Thanks - I loved her post. We're actually spending 5 whole years in a 1930 Colonial that has endless charm, but the charm is definitely not free!
