Wednesday Post - Hurricane Sandy, Day 3

On Monday morning, before we lost power, Kathy wanted to make some Cranberry Nut bread to have, "just in case." So she made a loaf, and then on Tuesday, after the power had been out for a day, we invited our neighbor Judy over for "Tea and crumpets" (whatever they are...) So it was cool in the house, but cozy to have a neighbor over, and to take time for conversation. She said that for some reason our house was just a bit warmer than hers was, so she appreciated the warmth and the food. Funny how disasters bring neighbors together. The neighbor on the other side realized that we had no heat or hot water, and she offered to let us take a shower in their house, because they had a gas hot water heater. And then a few hours later came over with a bag of ice - a friend of hers from Westchester had driven down with a car full of bags of ice for some of her friends on Long Island. How wonderful is that!

I am glad that was nor that bad by you.

We were very lucky, and had no damage at all. It was just that the power was out, so no internet, and the laptop battery soon ran out, working on some of the photographs. Thank you so much for your concern. I have the rest of the photographs of the week still to post, when I get a chance.
