After Dean

All the news reports warned us that a category 4 hurricane was coming our way. Internet weather sites confirmed that Hurricane Dean was to pass just to the south of us. Windows were boarded up, vehicles were moved to higher ground, property was secured and the children were trained to respond to a call from Matante by marching in order to the school. Dean was way to the south so we got some wind and rain but nothing like expected. We lost quite a few banana trees as they are very fragile but we gained in the pig department. One of our mama pigs gave birth to eleven piglets very early this morning. Thank you all for your prayers and concern. Let's remember our sisters and brothers in Jamaica as they face Dean head-on.
