puppetmaker | Near Miss is a Lovely Thing

When we went to bed last night, we had a weather model that had a Henri passing over Long Island with the eye of the storm heading to Fire Island then over our area.

This morning the hurricane had become a tropical storm and it moved east back over the ocean.

We are getting rain with some wind with it being heavy at times but overall I much prefer this to an actual hurricane.

I have work today in the afternoon and the next two days.

In between I plan to get some puppets done along with some other things for DragonCon.

We went to the Parent/Student orientation at FIT yesterday. The more I see and hear about the school, the more I know it is a perfect fit (sorry Caroline) for her. They expect their students to work hard, and they will push them to be their best. They also know that they have a group of very creative young people who need encouragement to grow and explore what they can do. Also, they have everything Caroline needs on one campus to do what she wants to do.

Now she starts her college career.

If I have done my job as a parent, she is ready for this.

I am grateful for the lack of hurricane in my backyard and front yard and, well, the whole area.
