Well, at the last minute we thought we’d have a garage sale to clear out some of our house. It’s become a complete mess as we’re starting to pack to move a few personal items into storage, some to Africa but still leaving enough for use in Charlotte next month. All while slowly selling off our things to friends and random Craiglist.com people.

We knew Ike was coming, but we were thinking we could beat the storm and have a sale this morning. Little did we know, the whole hurricane is nearly the size of Texas. Even though the eye of the storm just passed landfall, the rain from the same storm just hit. It’s so strange looking into the sky and seeing the clouds move West, and the wind coming from the East.

So, as I went outside at 7:30 to survey the weather, I made the call to cancel our last minute Spring Cleaning. Only 15 minutes later, it began to rain heavily and hasn’t stopped yet.

Hopefully we’ll be ready for next weekend for our true estate sale. We’re selling it all! And the rain can’t stop us this time, since it’s in our house.
