After 10 days, we went out for dinner tonight and came back to and house full of lights.
What a relief to get our power back, hot showers, lights, internet and above all, can contact you all

I was just thinking about you today and wondering if I had missed your I'm back post or not. It's SO good to hear from you. Is your house ok? Was it terrible?

Yay! Glad your power is back on! A long, hot shower is the upside, cooking your own dinner instead of going out and being waited on is the downside...

Glad to hear you're back in the land of the living again! How stressful - a hurricane, no power, and moving - not to mention the upcoming holidays - I would need a valium or two if I was in your shoes.

What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
Doctor please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day

Welcome back. Glad to know your safe and now clean and fresh! I have lived through a number of Tornado's and class 5 thunderstorms in the midwest in my life. 5 mins its past, gone, done. If your in the path your in trouble.... I drove my parents to their Florida winter home a week before Wilma. I was a wreck... 12 hours of torrential rain and wind. I don't know if I admire ya'll that live in those cane'prone areas or not. BUT I am glad you neva, are safe and sound. Hopefully we can call this season of storms DONE!
