Glad to hear that you and Rosemary are okay in spite of the hardship and inconvenience. I would not wish it on anyone, even as many of our friends and neighbors remain without power today and anticipate being so for another week. Do what feels good. You deserve it. No apologies, no guilt.

How did your sweet Rosemary make out? It is a hassle to be without power and thank goodness Kris gave you what you needed. Hang in there!

I'm so glad that you are ok and have the power back. You can't believe how worried the West Coast is for the East Coast. BIG HUGS!

I'm so glad your power has been restored! It's really miserable to be . . . disconnected. Not only do you lose your power, but you also lose your control. And that never feels good.

Here's to a peaceful end to the summer season! Enjoy those Summer People . . . as they're driving away.

Oh my, Jane! I had no idea. Poor you! 56 hours is a long time to be without the comforts of home. I am so glad you have your power back. I love the knitting by candlelight photo.

We were so lucky here to not lose power even though we were very prepared by having oil lamps, battery powered lanterns, butane camping stove, had filled our bathtub full of water, jugs full of water, etc.

Things around us got damaged but we seem to live in a bubble where our house is, protected in some way from the worst of the elements. (knocking on wood)

Irene will certainly go down in the history books.

XXXOOO

I hate it when you're suffering and somebody jumps in to tell you how much worse someone else has it. It's not a contest! 56 hours without power is a real hardship and I'm glad it's over for you.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of this....

I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of this. It's no fun, that's for sure. And, yes, there is always someone somewhere who is worse off, but that doesn't change your loss of food or other problems endured without power and water. We have a generator, but had we needed to use it, we would have been out of fuel for the generator long before 56 hours had passed.

Thanks for this. There is always someone suffering...

Thanks for this. There is always someone suffering more, always. Also someone somewhere who is suffering less. We're allowed to have our reactions!
