First an earthquake then a hurricane, gosh who knew Delaware was such an exciting place. On Tuesday while I was at my computer editing, Will was on the phone, the house started to shake, at first we thought it was a low flying plane or a big truck driving by, but then it kept on going. We couldn't believe it we just had an earthquake out here, and started excitingly looking up on the computer to see if it was really one, it is pretty rare to get one out here. After a little digging on the computer we found out that the earthquake originated from Virginia and could be felt all the way up through parts of New York, we almost couldn't believe it! And I thought I was getting away from those guys when I moved to the east coast, haha!
And then came good old Irene with all her huffing and puffing. Thank goodness it wasn't actually very bad where were are, but the news sure made it out like it was the end of the world. So because of all of the end of the world talk from the news we went down to Rehoboth Beach the day before Irene made her arrival to see all the preparations the boardwalk businesses and houses were making. We weren't the only ones curious about the preparations taking place for this hurricane, as there were almost as many people as there typically are late into the summer season.

One of the business on the boardwalk all board up. |

Another business starting to board up their windows. |

And my sir! |
We went back down to the beach today to check to see how everything looked, and the only thing really different was there was more sand on the boardwalk than usual. I guess we got pretty lucky, thank goodness!
