a little wet
a little wind blown
We had a couple of shutters blown off the house and a large, heavy bench from the porch end up in a flower bed, but nothing that could have been. We are very thankful. Many are still without power. The number of power outages in New Jersey from hybrid storm Sandy climbed to 2.7 million. As I type, our utility company still has 900,000 customers without power.
Yesterday I drove to Jamie’s for some time with the kids. Lots of traffic lights out and a detour from a downed tree but no problem getting there. Caleb was so excited to see a crew mulching fallen branches.

Drizzly cold and windy, we got some outside time while jumping in a pile of wet leaves
and a warm hug

The news coverage and photos of the shore points are incredible.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
I'm playing catch up with my blog reading. So glad to see y'all are safe. Living in Louisiana I know way more than I'd like about hurricanes. Not fun!
The pictures of the storm are still painful for me, especially of my favorite Ocean City, NJ. I am thankful that God took care of you and your family during the storm. Your pictures show warmth and love through it all.
Your photos are adorable.
The strength of the storm was almost unbelievable, wasn't it?
Lorraine, I'm so glad to know you and your family are safe.
we have been watching and praying…so glad you are all okay
I've been seeing the devastation on the news daily. Such a tragic thing to see. My heart goes out to everyone. I'm so happy to hear that you and your family are safe and sound. Take care.
So glad to hear that you and your family weathered the storm in safety. Praying for those not so fortunate!

… all is well… Congrats! … but the first is very well!!!
Yes, we've been following the news and seeing the horrible devastation brought about by Sandy. So many dealing with loss. Nice to see the photos of your lovely family.
I am glad to hear you are okay! We have been without power since Monday night and it's really getting hard. We were able to find a hotel room for last night, but it's back to our cold houses in a few hours. The devastation is overwhelming at times for our beloved NY and NJ shoreline! Stay safe!
So glad that you and John are okay and have power. We appreciate your prayers and friendship. The scope of the devastation is beyond imagination. Raider looks really cute and love the pictures of your grandchildren.
So glad your family made it thru the storm with minimal damage. Our GOD is so good!!!

So glad your family made it through ok! Fun pics and I think that lolly-pop smile sums it all up:@)
Glad that you all were ok — we ended up right on the edge — blessed! High winds to the north….flooding to the east….and snow to the west…we were in the perfect spot this time.
Glad to hear the good news! Great pictures, too!

I am grateful that you and your family and home are safe after this terrible storm, Lorraine. God is good.
Love the pictures of your grandkids and little Radar.
It's good to hear you survived the storm so well. It has been devastating to watch. I'm sure your grandchildren were happy to see you and my, that baby is growing up so quickly!
How nice to see that you and your family are safe and sound. We've been following the events through CNN and you were in my thoughts and prayers.
It's in moments like this that we realize how internet brings us all together, even when we never talk there is a connection 🙂
