Ian Came. Ian Destroyed ~ 💞 September 30th

And once the storm is over you won't remember how 
you made it through how you managed to survive.  You wouldn't 

even be sure in fact whether the storm is really over.  But one 

thing is for certain when you come out of the storm

 you won be the same person who walked in...

When I saw the quote above i thought of my sister and all 
the people in Puerto Rico huddled in a corner listening to the 

howling wind for days without any sign of it even ending.  

What we experienced is NOTHING!  The wind was howling, 

but for them that howling lives on with each new hurricane. 

 Same goes for all those who went through such 

an experience.  It definitely changes you.

I realized what a boring time it s to just wait and not know

 what will happen.  When I say boring I am not diminishing the 

severity of what's going on. at the same time it was just some of

 the most boring moments.  Waiting is not something I do well.

I was very touched by the outpouring of concerned friends 
and family.  Texting and talking back to all of you and

 keeping you posted made for not boring times.  

Gabsy phone called made us both laugh.  Arvid and 

Gabsy exchanged a good conversation and they even shared 

Spotify playlists.  As Gabsy said, "I'm so stoked."

My heart was really touched by my nieces and nephews

 that took the time to reach out to us.  J all the way in Colombia 

reached out several times.  I love them al so very much. 

We have no power no internet. I started to write this blog and power went down on Wednesday.   Right now my phone is doing the job, but reception is sketchy.  It may post it may not.  Fort Myers and surrounding areas are in bad shape. We are still fortunate. We have running water and some food. Sniff has everything he needs. Others not so fortunate.

Good morning everyone. The sun is out, a good sign.
