Anna and her fiancé Jordan are both here with us. They are still under a boil water alert in Blacksburg after Helene. What an eventful few weeks! They brought the cat with them, and she loves being at the cabin. We have picked some apples and this afternoon will attempt to can some apple pie filling.
The power was out for most of yesterday back at home. I think that the internet is still down, but there isn't any visible damage. Milton exited in the north end of our county. We live in a very long skinny county, so it never ended up getting too close to where we live. There was some beach erosion of course, and some isolated damage from tornadoes, but far from the worst case scenario that it could have been. Jordan grew up in Bradenton, very near where the storm came in to Florida. Still, the fact that it came in south of Tampa was lucky, it could have been so much worse.
I told Kurt as we were packing up to leave that he should make sure that I didn't forget to bring my sewing. Of course we both forgot and my hexies are hanging out at home. I have plenty of school work to keep me busy, but it sure would have been nice to stitch away at hexies while in transit. I hope that everyone else is safe and dry. I will remember to post scraphappy Saturday first thing tomorrow. Hopefully Kurt will do a better job and helping me remember this time.
glad to hear you are safe from tornado damage and enjoying your time in the hills
ReplyDeleteGlad you're safe & sound. Happy your mountain home didn't sustain damage either. Forgetting your hexies is nothing compared to what might have been. Relax and enjoy your Nature setting.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a place to go that wasn't affected by the hurricane, and that things look good back at home! It's been a crazy few weeks for all of you in the southeast. Looks like a pretty fall at your cabin - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the weather has not caused you much wear and tear. Finally after several turn arounds to home I keep an index card (colored or use a colored hi-liter to color) with everything listed to bring on a trip. I use a push pin to attach inside my closet wall. We are aging so medicines are on top of list, audio books, pillow and blanket, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you didn't suffer lots of damage, and that you could escape to the mountains for a few days. My family members in Jacksonville came through it well too. What a relief.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you and Milton didnt have a really close encounter. It's certainly been a terrible time for your country during this devastating weather event.
ReplyDeleteSo glad everyone is safe and there isn't much damage at home. It's definitely been a pretty stressful couple of weeks for the southeast US.
