After arriving back in Iowa, life was back to normal in a hurry. School each morning, grocery shopping, Tuesday dentist, Wednesday youth group. O how that beach week was amazing. Once we returned, the weather channel showed Hurricane Sally had made her way to land, dumping rain and wind on the area we just left. The coastline of Destin, Panama City and over to Moline Alabama were affected. The storm was slow, moving at 2 miles per hour and winds up in the 100's. The rain was torrential up into the 20 inch range. We were so fortunate to have had the amazing week that we did and get home before the storm! The storm would ruin any vacation plans and many lost power. Looking back again on our plans, we were supposed to go this week to Florida, however Dan knew the owner and was able to talk him into letting us go a week earlier.
In addition, the entire week we were in Florida, the weather was great, then it turned from 90 degrees into the 40's and stayed in the 40-50's all week with rain. We sure picked a perfect week to be gone. The Lord blessed the trip! We returned to a cold house, 65 degrees. We had to turn the heat on for our first night home. We must have brought the sunshine with us because the sun came out and we had warm sunny days after our return.
Ogden high school gave it their best shot at having school onsite for as long as possible. The kids made it 3 full weeks before the school went to "Hybrid Learning". That is the name given to the alternate ways of learning in this pandemic. The kids now attend every other day in class and every other day online. It is not ideal. Jacob's DMACC Course continues to be onsite.
