Home and waiting for the Hurricane


Oh the drama.
NYC.
I took this picture a few weeks ago
when at lunch with my husband.
We live in a commuter town to NYC
as do millions of others.
*
I was feeling a bit fearful about the hurricane
and after we saw the
state of emergency
sign on the highway
my husband saw my concern mounting
and we went to a more local church
for liturgy this morning.
The priest at the local priest
said a prayer after liturgy
for the storm and
then asked for some strong men
to help with sandbags.
*
Some people were getting sand bags to put by doors
to try to deter flooding.
We are on the second floor and should be fine.
There was no flooding and power was
out for only a few hours.
*
We have everything prepared that we can have prepared.
1.5 working flashlights
(stores were sold out of D batteries)
tons of juice and food
water
and are watching the hourly news reports.
*
Meanwhile,
I have a feeling I am coming down with a cold.
Overtired, sore throat...
*
Asking your prayers.

Cleo and Sunday...

 
The picture of Cleo as promised. :)
*
Well, life continues down here.
It's pretty busy...
lots to figure out, do and plan.
*
It is Canadian Thanksgiving next weekend and
I will be God-willing hosting a small dinner party
here in my new home with my DH.
*
Lots to do to get ready for this;
meal already planned;
now I just have to get everything ready...
*
It's great to have a social event to plan...
*
Today was a special birthday of an Ottawa friend...
I am greatful for the internet
in times like these.
*
It is odd to suddenly have a very new life
and know that everywhere is the same and yet
for me all is very different.
*
Thanking God that He remains the same...
