"I LOVE the SOUND of the GENERATOR in the MORNING"...
Here's a pix of the Amtrak tunnel leading out to our beach after "Sandy" came to visit!!
We are STILL without power and have just gotten tv, phone, cell and internet back late this afternoon. Luckily, we have a generator which--my darling hubby has been handling so that we have heat and light and refrigeration.
Let me tell you how DARK-- DARKNESS can be w/o power....talk about a reality check--and we are lucky compared to NY and NJ, I hear. Our town looks like a bomb hit it; 4 ft of sand on all the roads leading to beaches, trees over wires, downed power lines etc etc.
LADIES--if EVER there was a time to use your Accuquilt Cutter: TA---DAAAAA!! Hexagon==mania took over. Crank that handle--forget the storm raging and cut, cut cut. Gotta love it!! I have a new "pansey Flower" hexagon thingey in the making.....
To the right of the house (near our beach, not our house) WAS a stairway....this WAS a sandy beach....
I cannot complain tho', our home is 60 feet above sea level and luckily none of our trees came down. We have a lot of Cedars which were whipping to the ground, but bounced back.
Today, we can get out of our street (downed trees and wires before now) and actually venture out. We even can use our Keurig Coffee Maker --it's really amazing how much a cup of coffee can mean.....
I will return to blog about more quilt-related thingeys soon..
.no school until Mon or Tuesday here and there was no Halloween...I am just grateful for what we have......Julierose, La Blageuse
