Thanks, all my friends here whom have missed me--I have suffered withdrawal pains from not being able to log on and talk sewing with all of you! Not being able to sew is a whole 'nother complaint, but we actually haven't had time for anything, due to the cleanup. We weathered the hurricane pretty well. Went a week without power, but I'm not complaining, as we had no water or tree damage. The power finally came on last night; 1 am, and every light in the house blazed, due to my automatic habit of flipping a switch when I walk into a dark room. Never thought I'd be happy to run the vacuum! Unable to sew or log on, we spent the week cleaning the yard and garden, which were under a three-foot deep debris field of fallen limbs and leaves, so we're both fatigued. Cold showers don't assuage sore muscles. My kids/Gkids are all fine, no storm problems. The generator saw us through, letting us cook meals, and keeping my freezer full of meats, basil pesto, raspberries and strawberries safe from thawing, so I am one happy camper. This city--and state, are in pretty sad shape, with massive trees down everywhere, and much damage where storm surge pushed water up the bay, into inlets, creeks and neighborhoods.. Many folks lost their homes when trees crashed through the roofs. The devastation is mind-boggling. I hope none of our other sew folk lost their homes in this hurricane. Thanks, all of my friends here who were concerned about me. Despite cold showers, ya gave me the warm fuzzies!! Cea
