thankful, I am.....

for safety during Hurricane Sandy.  We personally were spared any major damage from the wind and rain and flooding.  We enjoyed sweet family together time.  I can't begrudge the extended work-week and rescheduling of details because it's all worth it when we can enjoy some at home escape time.

We readied our home and yard for high winds and hunkered down for the storm.  Once we were storm -prepared holiday shopping lists were made, gift projects were started, video games were played and homework was done.  I even got some help on the house cleaning during that time.  We never lost power...so we had the glow of our electronics conveniently connected with wi-fi to keep us in touch with the outside world.

So the generator sits at attention awaiting the next storm.  I will be more thankful if that one brings snow.
