Frankenstorm Sandy

Checking in.... Mom and I miraculously had power with two on/0ff losses, no tree damage, no flooded basement like Irene, just branches in the back yard and 2 full days of quality time. lol Bella was nervous for about an hour just about when the eye was about to pass. Pretty much stayed on or beside one of us during the whole business. We are very, very lucky! Some neighborhoods near me have trees down, electric out, etc. One friend and her two young adult children, will have now power till Sunday. Her neighbors in back of her have power so they have run an extension cord about 100' so she can keep her fridge up and running. They have a fire place to help keep warm. I offered for them to come sleep here, but they would rather be home. Her two children are special needs and don't do well away from home.

Hope is all well with everyone! Glad to hear from so many that they are ok!! This storm was something else. Sandy is a angry, bad tempered thing!!!

Keeping all the people near the great lakes in my thoughts and prayers.

Sandy is a coming and she is NOT a nice young lady!!!

Hugs to all,
Ruthie
