Trying to catch up....after our wind storm..!!

....We had a horrible WIND storm on Thursday night after a day of rain.   I had missed the weather report and had NO clue, but I really don't think even the weather people had ANY clue how bad it was going to be.  The strongest winds I've ever heard in my life and I've lived her ALL my life...!  It was a sleepless night and really scary at times...

We lost power by about 10:30 PM,  Thursday night and ours came back on during the night last night (Friday)!  But, even that 24 hours was awful...but again, we lucked out, as many are still without power and could be for days?  Yikes!!    We had wind gusts to almost 90 MPH, the highest I think they said were about 86 MPH....numerous power outages and trees are down all over our area...it was BAD!!  I'm trying to catch up after have no power, phone, computer, internet or even cell service for well over 24 hours...it was NOT FUN!!  No cooking, no hot water, no hot shower...no morning coffee....it was NOT pleasant.  Luckily, DH did work and they never lost power??   Schools were all canceled and eventually Alex and I went out for Coffee and went back out in the afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner.  By 5pm it was dark again and we ALL went to bed "bored" early last night...!   It was a wonderful surprise to wake up early this morning to find out the power was on!  YIPPEE!!   LOL! 

Hopefully, tomorrow will be even better and I can craft again and get back on track....I'm off to bed and in pain today...but hoping extra sleep with help! 

Thanks to everyone who thought of me...we did not have any damage, other than some spoiled food and a bit of damage to our fence, but that can be fixed with some extra support!  It was very SCARY I am happy we are ALL okay......we were lucky!!

Hugs to all...

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
