Be Prepared

So... Hurricane Sandy was supposed to be horrible.

And it was.  To most of NJ and lots of other coastal regions...

We prepared - candles, flashlights, we even had jugs of water ready!

We had some water leak into our basement by Sunday afternoon ~ but Bill went out and put the tarp in the flowerbed, and the water stopped dripping and the wall/floor dried up by Sunday night!

We were a little stir crazy inside on Monday, and Tuesday we ventured to the library.

It was actually a nice little "fall break" of sorts because everything we are normally doing on those days was cancelled!  And... everything else was closed, so we couldn't go anywhere.  Since the threat of losing power and flooding wasn't a worry by Monday, we just relaxed and sat around doing nothing.  It. Was. Great!

So, we're safe and sound, but are praying for family and friends we know on the coast that are dealing with house damage and other events from the storm.
