For those of you who know us only from the blog, we’re fine. Hurricane Sandy blew through yesterday and last night, and while we did have some lights flicker and some pretty scary-sounding winds and rain, the townhouse we’re renting stayed dry and intact and electrically powered.
Truman slept through much of it.
Anyway, we’re grateful to have come through this unscathed, and ask you to join us in praying for the many millions of people who are dealing with loss and destruction today. Please also remember the folks who are working so diligently to restore basic city services and to shelter, help, and comfort those in need.

Glad to hear that all is well after the storm. I, too, prefer earthquakes. Something about the forecasts of impending doom that gets to me! Hugs to Truman.
Hugs given and sent right back to you, Gretchen! 🙂
I prefer hurricanes, so i have time to prepare my home and get the blank out, grin. Glad all is okay at your abode!
