Hi!
Our power was restored after 8 days and nights yesterday. I honestly felt like I was at a luxury hotel just being at home last night. There is so much we do in the modern world that one does not even think about it being special. The worst part of it was the cold because it got pretty darn cold in the house at night.
It really does make one thankful for all the little things you take for granted- blow drying your hair which normally seems like a pain, a working cappuccino maker, a toaster, a clock, being able to see in the dark....
At night I was knitting a shawl under blankets with candles next to me and a flashlight. There will be a few minor mistakes in it due to the lack of the light but, I will leave them to remind me of this later on when I might forget to be thankful for the small things. After all, we have so much and there were and are so many much worse off.

thank goodness you are all ok!
Glad to know you are okay- that's a long time without power and heat!
(our furnace went out for three days last winter and I have NOT forgotten how COLD we were!)
glad to hear you're safe and sound and that the power's back on!! Now to get through this next bit of yucky weather. At least you'll have heat! :)
i was wondering how your family had fared in the storm. glad you got your power back finally!
glad to hear the lights and heat are back on for you and that you all are okay. you're so right about all we can take for granted. thank goodness you're not in hoboken any more. have things gotten better there yet? last i heard on the news 20,000 people were stranded in their homes and the national guard was there?! so crazy to see that path station flood as one of the sandy photos that was posted everywhere. take care. xox
Thank you all.
There were so many trees knocked down here but, we did not get the flood waters. A relative of mine at the shore lost everything on her first floor of her home.
What happened to Hoboken is terrible as well.
My husbands office in NYC was hit pretty hard and it will still be a few more weeks until he can return to work there. At least he can get stuff done at home now that we have Internet.
