Grandma and Grandpa got in an hour late due to storms on our end, but are now safe and sound. They slept on our hide-a-bed in the living room last night and we all got to sleep in this morning.

We toured Manchester today. We saw the Northshire Bookstore, the Orvis store and a few other places of interest.

Hurricane Bill was fore casted to hit MA this evening. We expected a little rain, since we can see Massachusetts from the house. We didn't expect quite this much.

The water jumped the culvert in Zora's pasture and the banks of the drainage ditch and ran downhill in a torrent.

It also leaked into the basement. The crawl space got it the worst, but it's now under control.

It's still raining, and probably will be for a while tonight, but it is now just a steady rain, not a driving one.

We miss you all.

Your friends,

-The Daughtons-
