Post - Hurricane Irma and Forever Family Day #9!!

The hurricane became a non-event for us; scary and lots of planning and waiting, but we came out fine. Many families were flooded, had tree damage and lost many possessions. We were lucky with only large tree branch debris and power outage for only 17 hours. Joy found out that her Okeechobee home suffered no damage and never lost power. So she left us on Tuesday, the 12th. Our quaint River House Bar lost the entire lower deck and the ROCA building has been evacuated.

Our tree debris:

Nancy provided coffee on Monday morning - a life saver!

Monday evening, we had power back, but still grilled hotdogs as planned!

Tuesday was spent cleaning up the yard and getting back to normal. The RH opened on Wednesday so we went to check out the damage. Glad the original cottage/bar was fine.
The Eagle Harbor Golf course is not opening again until Monday the 18th! AA did golf at the Fleming Island Golf course on Thursday (played nine holes) and on Friday afternoon with Ms. Penny.
Friday for lunch we went to P.F. Chang to celebrate AA"s gotcha day (a day early). School was still out so could enjoy a nice lunch as Saturday, the 16th was busy with her birthday party.

We had the usual chicken lettuce wraps and AA chose the Dynamite Shrimp:

That wrapped up our very out of routine week. We feel like we waited a week for Hurricane Irma, so getting back to normal was a struggle - many others had it alot worse: Lea and Jesse's home had major roof leaks, Christa's home flooded. Thank goodness Nicole, Carolyn, Justin and Cathy's homes were all fine (Cathy and Werner plus Leaa and Jesse are still with out power).
