Glad y'all came through the storm ok (if being without FR for a while can be considered 'ok' ... *grins*). Sounds like you have quite a mess to deal with now, though.

We do have a mess, but at least the wind didn't drive the rain through the wall! The blinds are double pleated material and when you hold them up sidewise, the water just runs out of the pleats. What a feeling - who woulda thunk that water could be driven through double paned glass?

Before the big onslaught this morning, we went out to breakfast and were seated diagonally across from an older man dining alone. I overhead him telling the waitress that today was his 80th birthday, so, of course, I had to stick my big nose in and wish him a Happy Birthday. He was a lovely person and we all had a nice conversation. When we left, we exchanged Happy New Years, and he actually thanked me for taking the time to wish him a HB. Amazing.

Kay, I was actually having withdrawals. No FReeping, no surfing......ahhhhhh!

By candle light buckled down, paid bills and put together pieces of a bookmarker scrapbook I've been fooling with for forever. Then, miraculously, the heat came on (central heat and air that doesn't work without electricity) and the lights began to shine.

Yippee!!! I could FReep.
