Good afternoon... I'm so glad most of you are finally getting back to some kind of normalcy. :-)

Great images today of President Trump and the First Lady, VP Pence, Gov. Rick Scott (and I think his wife), Sen. Rubio and the director of FEMA in Naples and Fort Meyers. Trump, Melania and Mike Pence were serving food to Irma victims *that President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump paid for themselves*.

From the images I saw, everyone was super excited to meet the Dream Team serving them lunch! There were many thumbs up and pro-Trump T-shirts. It was heartening.

Unfortunately our friends in South Venice, FL are still without power - they've been moving from place to place, and are now in a hotel. All they know is they're supposed to have power restored by September 21st. Hope they get their power back much sooner than that...

Hated to miss the POTUS visit, but we still don't have internet/phone/tv. We've rigged up a mobile hot spot allowing me to get some work done.

Thanks for your nice report!

Just talked to my sister in Plant City and their power went back OUT again sometime today after being on yesterday. BUMMER! No one at TECO is answering the phone and talk is it will be Sunday before they get electrical service back online. My Mom’s apartment in Mango/Seffner got and kept electric since Wednesday. I’m getting that “survivor’s guilt” feeling again.
