Thank You for the Donations

I believe it was Hartlenn’s idea to have people drop tips into my tip jar, and Mark at The Niche Store Builder took that idea and blogged about it.  I am sincerely touched by all the support and donations that have been so kindly given. About three weeks ago I started a new job and am not currently...

Day Three is Done

We are back home after the third day of cleanup.  Day one was getting contaminated carpet and carpet padding out and sucking up water with the Shop Vac after getting it up.  We didn’t finish this on Day One, so Day Two was a continuation of the same job. Day Three was focusing on the garage,...

Thank You for Your Well Wishes

You have no idea how touching it is to see all your kind words and positive thoughts.  I sincerely thank all of you. We just got back from visiting our house this morning.  The water has mostly receded from our home, but we still can’t drive on our street.  In the house the water was up to about...

We’re Okay, Our House is Not

I have been staring at my computer screen for several minutes and I honestly don’t know where to start or what to say. We are not at home right now.  Our house is flooded and just about everything in it is either damaged or will be damaged (by the humidity and mold).  This includes our two cars,...

It’s not looking good, folks

Ok, so here’s the thing.  Water is getting in and the rain is still falling.  A friend is going to Lowes to get sand and sandbags, then he’s coming here.  The only way he will be able to deliver it is by bringing his boat and coming to one of our windows. We are going to do the best we...

Water is now in the house

Not much more I can say about that… Rochelle

Share the Love, Fay

Fay is the visitor from undesirable regions.  She just won’t go away. Well, we thought the worst was over.  I was awake for several hours in the middle of the night (1:02 to around 3:30am) and things were quiet when I got up and checked. Unfortunately, Fay kicked things back up around 4am. ...

Update from Paradise

Man, are we paying for paradise today!  Tropical Storm Fay is turning out to be far worse than the three hurricanes we have already been through, including a category 3 hurricane. Things are a little tense here at the moment, for it is quite likely that water may begin seeping into our house some time...

Greetings from Paradise

Florida is paradise.  Truly, I love it here in Central Florida.  But paradise comes at a price every now and then.  This past Saturday it was time to pay up. Early Saturday afternoon we had a typical afternoon storm.  This is normal for summer in Florida, though we have had a massive amout of rain...

Why I am Loving the Caffeinated Content Plugin

  Mark over at The Niche Store Builder recently wrote about a WordPress plugin called Caffeinated Content. This is a plugin that I have started using and I am LOVING it! The Caffienated Content plugin allows users to pull content related to whatever keywords you enter in quantities that you choose. I...
