Just wanted to let my friends know that we made it through the hurricane ok....we had alot of wind and rain---fortunately, she--Hurrican Irene--wasn't quite as strong as they said as it lost some steam as it moved north, but it was enough to be extremely paranoid that our trees were going to go down...many, many other trees did go down and block roads and take down power lines, but fortunately, we were spared...Lots of sticks and leaves, but nothing major...we did lose power on Sunday for a few hours and that got tricky as we have 2 sump pumps in the basement that pump water out that would come in to the basement if we didn't have them...Many people have lots and lots of water in their basements....So, overall, we did good...I am exhausted as I hardly slept Saturday night because I was terrified a tornado was going to come our way. (as they were popping up everywhere)...needless to say, I am ready for bed...so I am signing off right now..just wanted to let you know we are all ok!!
