Hurricane Check In

[Bonnie and Kona]

Okay, East Coasters.... when you can please check in with us. I'm up in the middle of the night on the west coast, watching the news and wondering how all of you are doing! 

[Bonnie and Kona]

Yes, Joanne, I was thinking, "Wish she would clean my fridge!"

[Pat and Traveler]

So glad you are safe!  Darling picture of Jack.  So sorry about all the destruction, and your own loss of childhood's Jersey shore.  

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Thanks Pat, it is so overwhelming.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Glad you are OK. If you keep those tree roots moist you might be able to replant them with help. I did this with a small hemlock that was dug up by a bucket loader for repairs a number of years ago. It was in my side yard a couple of weeks, completely out of the ground. Today it is alive and well. Still no power here.

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

I was thinking about that but these plum trees have shallow roots and they've been "leaners" for a while now. We figured it was just a matter of time. Their tops are resting on our fence, luckily it isn't damaged. I sure hope you hear something on your power soon! Are you keeping warm enough? It's getting colder. There's a spare bedroom here!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Bless you but my generator powers the heat and so far so good.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Janie, I'm so glad you're safe and have power back.  It's heartbreaking to see what has happened to the CT and Jersey shores.  We've been renting the same beach house every Summer since I was a kid and from what I hear it's in bad shape....not sure if it can even be repaired.  This was a devastating storm.

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Jane, I hope you are damage free in CT? Was your beach house in CT or NJ? Hope you all are fine!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Jane, I'm so sorry to hear about your beach house. What 's happened to the shore and up the coast is heartbreaking. I hope you are all safe and well.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Janie, Glad to hear you are safe!! I am so sorry about your beloved Jersey shore. It is all just so sad! Hang in there!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Thanks Laurie, I hope you weren't hit too bad where you are.

Don't know if this will help but F.J. and I use our Solar Lights when the power goes out. We go outside and yank them from the yard.   It works and is safer than candles.  But, who knows if any are around now in people's yards. It is an idea
