I think she's finally gone!

Well, Ms. Fay lingered around a little long for me. I believe today was the 5th day that we have had constant rain in Florida. How dreary! I live in Florida for the warmth, wonderful sunshine and beautiful beaches. It definately ruins my daily activities to keep looking out the window and seeing rain, rain and more rain. Where I live did not get flooded like some of the surrounding counties but we have our fair share of puddles. It is kind of ironic that for almost the past year everyone, including a buyer I was showing many homes on lakes to, has been complaining how dry it has been and we need some rain. Well, here it is and now everyone is complaining we have too much! It never ceases to amaze me that people just have to complain- constantly.

I actually live in Mt. Dora which is a quaint, lovely city in Lake County. We have over 1200 named lakes- hence Lake County. It was a double nightmare dealing with Fay and school starting. My daughter, Tiffany, has been excited for the last 3 weeks to start 7th grade. So, she went to school on Monday.. was off on Tuesday and Wednesday, went back on Thursday and was sent home with a note to check a website later that evening to see if school was closed on Friday.. and it was. A little disappointed she was, however, she has a very positive attitude and concluded that it was like having 3 first days of school (butterflies and all) Monday, Wednesday and now Monday. I love her outlook- she makes me laugh all the time- even at inappropriate times.

Anyway- I have been at my office all week, weather and all. Surprisingly, we still had a decent number of calls. (Tornadoes are popping up and people are still driving around looking at for sale signs?) I love the city of Mt. Dora. My office is downtown which is a tourist getaway. We have great little shops and restaurants to enjoy. Sometimes I even hear the horsedrawn carriage outside that carries travelers around the streets. The streets are closed off many times throughout the year for art and music festivals and there seems to always be some type of dragonboat or sailboat race going on.

Anyway, I am not quite sure which direction I wanted to go with this, but I just wanted to give you all a little information about Mount Dora and let you know we are still kicking or should I say swimming down here!

I would have loved to have added some cute pics of Tiffany and Mt. Dora, however, still figuring out how to do all of that... if anyone has any ideas that could help me...next time. Thanks, Tina
