We still have no power and work has no power. We spent a better night last night as the snap, crackle and pop of the trees breaking has stopped.
I managed to get through to the power company today and was told five to seven days before power is restored. I explained I have a seventy year old mother with me and they advised me to make other arrangements for her.
I finally convinced her to go to my sister’s house so we packed her up and sent her on her way.
Then I bundled myself up and took the dogs to the park. Some of our trails were blocked but we managed. It was hard walking but Sampson and Delilah were happy to be out.
After about 15minutes we ran into our walking bud and her dog along with her neighbor’s dog, and they all got some running in until Bruno decided he wanted to go home.
When we got home Hubby had breakfast ready and after breakfast I headed to my sister’s for the hot shower and to do some laundry.
We are doing as well as we can and send our thoughts and hearts out to those who weren’t as blessed as we were.
If I did it right there should be two pictures in this post. One is of the large tree that rested against our front door, the other is a picture of the trail into our park.
We know you are thinking of us and sending good thoughts are way and that is keeping our hearts warm.
We will respond to comments as soon as we can and we are reading them all.
Stay safe.

Wow 5-7 days. Glad to read you are doing all right considering no power. Yes the pictures came through and I can’t believe how bad the first one looks with that big tree against your door but the dogs look like they don’t mind the weather. Stay safe and keep us updated 🙂

Gosh 5-7 days. Hopefully that is the long estimate and the reality will be much sooner. 🙂
Glad to see you got out with the dogs. Shame about the trees. Good thing that one didn’t land on top of your house.

We are sending warm thoughts your way and glad that your spirits seem to be high and the humans and dogs are coping. ]
I just typed a lot of “and’s”

OH MY… 5 to 7 days… THAT is a long time not to have the PowerS. I hope it is on sooner rather than later.
Good that you have family close WITH PowerS so your mom can shower and stuffs.
Take care and come back when you can.
