Things are pretty much back to normal following Hurricane Irene. I understand that another possible hurricane is heading toward the Carolinas, so we may have more to come.
We got our power back at midnight Wednesday morning. We were very fortunate because my son didn’t get him until the next day, and one of our friends didn’t get hers until the day after that!
When the power came on, I actually shouted for joy. Then I immediately started cleaning the bathrooms and the dishes. It was 3:00 a.m. before I went to bed. The next day, it was a shower for Lynn, then me, and then more clothes to wash. I think I finally felt like we were back to normal around Friday (though it still looks pretty trashy outside).
This weekend, as I surveyed the land right around our house, I saw three large trees go down. We were very fortunate not to have anything hit the house. That is especially true since we have a number of large trees in our front yard that could cause quite a bit of damage if they went down. If that happened, we might just be building a new home sooner rather than later. I’m glad we aren’t being faced with that crisis.
