I want you to think of me as the new pioneer woman.
I'm writing this by candlelight on a borrowed iPad.
Gg is doing dishes with water heated on the stove and singing it's a hard knock life.
Though not as deadly, thank god, as advertised,the hurricane has left guilford, Connecticut,smack dab on the long island sound powerless.
The streets are filled with tree branches, yards and basements in the harbor are flooded with water and power lines are lying about like piles of spaghetti.
The Hai was out and about for most of the day taking incredible pictures and gg and I were cooking up a storm (so to speak)and feeding anyone who dropped by.
The lab dropped by often.
We have no idea when we will carry on with the rest of our so called vacation. We need to take two boats to get to our next bit of paradise and neither are running tomorrow.
With my luck the blue fish will be and I'll find myself on a fishing trip.
With your luck I'll figure out how to use the caps on this contraption and send out a more mannered report soon.
Think we'll get a movie out of this?
Yay! You're cooking so all is well with you three and the Lab. I can't sleep for the wind which is stronger than this morning. Still waiting for the pear tree to fall over. But hopefully the wind will die down soon. Hit the up arrow on the left for caps on the IPad. Glad you're safe.
ReplyDeleteWow sounds epic, remember as we say here in Blighty "Keep calm and carry on!" Hope you get to your next spot soon!

Glad you guys are safe. Be careful still.Hopefully you will be able to salvage a lil of your vacation.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I picture you looking like Doris Day in Calamity Jane?
ReplyDeleteReally pleased to hear all is safe and sound (well almost sound!) and hope you get to your next part of your holiday soon... what have you been cooking too? GG makes me laugh - love the choice of song! X
ReplyDeleteGlad the worst is over and you're all safe.. this will be a holiday you will never forget x
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all is safe and your wonderful sense of humor is still intact.
ReplyDeleteHad to check in to make sure you were safe! So glad to hear that GG is still managing to cook...that means you are fine!! My thoughts are with you and I hope things improve and that all systems get up and running again soon. Hugs to you both and the lab of course J xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're safe! Soldier on, brave lady. It's the American way ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are all safe
ReplyDeleteThis post sounds like a real adventure! :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know you are safe.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a fantastic writer: "power lines looking like piles of spaghetti". Your voice is powerful and highly compelling!
ReplyDeleteVery glad all of you are safe.
Don't know if you'll get a movie, but you got a smile out of me.
ReplyDeleteSo is the stove gas?
ReplyDeleteGlad you and GG are ok, and hope you get on to the rest of your vacation. We will have to talk about Guilford sometime. We spent a marvelous week there once at a B&B - the nicest couple.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the rest of your vacation with a lot less urban camping involved.
All ok here. Power back Tuesday afternoon. xoxo
