I Never Would Have Survived As A Pioneer!

This picture sums me up.......after just one day of no power I was getting grumpy. That being said, I feel so bad for all the people who have real tragedy. I have not see any pictures but I have heard Stone Harbor, our favorite New Jersey Beach took a beating.

The candles were nice for a while but it is hard to read by candle light. No wonder everyone went to bed early 100 years ago! We did too Monday night.

We were prepared. My husband has not 1, but 2 generators. One was being used to keep a son's sump pump going and ours broke the morning he tried to to turn it on. Thank goodness Wawa was open so there was coffee.

Faced with the idea that we might be days without power and no generator I decided to cook some food from the freezer. We have a gas stove (hurray!)  so I could at least eat something good while I was stranded in the house.

In all this craziness Halloween was not to be missed! Yes you are seeing the Jolly Green Giant and Michael Jackson in the same room!

Diary Block #48

 

This is my block in honor (or dishonor?) of Hurricane Sandy. As I write this it is Monday and it is still to be seen what is the outcome of this epic storm. I just saw some pictures of Avalon, NJ and the water in the streets was about 3' high. The winds are 90 miles and hour and they think it will almost be a category 2 hurricane when it hits New Jersey. So sad.

The shape of my pumpkin is the symbol for hurricane, that sort of round "s" shape.

I like the little ghost peeking out from behind.....

and the witch on her broom....

Once again the newspaper came up with a great name, that I used on the block. I think it fits.

I documented some things on the back, so I will remember.

Got to run the lights are flickering and the wind is getting bad!!!
