Getting Ready for Irene

When I got to work this morning, the decision was made to close the restaurant. So, we ended up moving everything off of the porch and out of the dining room, just in case the worst happens with the hurricane. It was so unusual seeing the deck,

porch,

and dining room

with no tables. After clearing everything out, the windows were covered with plastic and secured with sandbags.

The windows on the porch were also taken out, but that happened after I left.
