Missed you all!

Well Sandy came and gave us her best shot.

NYC is bad the photos I have seen are horrible.

NJ and Atlantic City will never be the same I fear and I loved walking that boardwalk.

My other half did such a great job welding up our free boat and then pulling pieces out of 3 dams to let enough of the stream to flow and allow for all the extra water that fell

from the skies overhead.  Man it came down sideways! The house is soaked.  I was out scraping old paint from front while we had no power this morning and I could not believe

how wet the house really is on the east side from this hurricane, boy she needs paint so badly now to be sure.  I wish I was rich and had paid someone to do it this past spring

after seeing the shape she was in but I loved doing the transformation myself, I needed to do this for my home and me. $30 a gal. adds up!  So one can a month did not get it

done before winter that is unless we get time to dry out and warm enough I can at least spray a base coat on to protect it from what is surly to be a snowy winter, or MORE

RAIN!

 

Here are a few photos of how I spent my time IN THE DARK while the Graveyard I live next to was bathed in light from the Lit Street Light  lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Light from graveyard from my very DARK YARD

 

 

Yes Propane stoves are handy in a Power Failure lol Light a match turn the knob FLAME to cook on

 

 

Cooking by candlelight thought we were just supposed to EAT BY IT!

 

 

 

 

The computer sits idle,  with all of you going about your days with ME IN THE DARK.

 

 

 

 

Our new favorite tool above!  A trash barrel to catch rain water and leaves as the well water shuts off with no power as well as the TOILET!

 

 

 

Bags full of food no longer safe to eat, what a waste.

 

Here is how our yard looked after storm no worse after Sandy Knocked Our Lights Out

 

 

 

Missed you all very much

Hope if you were in the Path of Sandy you are alright as well

 

Peace
