DDA Chapter 27

[PNO4TE]

Glynis - My heart goes out to you and Alan and the rest of his family. There is probably nothing worse than the grief family members can visit on each other. I know that you think this will be the "end" of MIL and her husband, but in the long run it may be the best thing for the entire family. Living in another area might be good for them. I know it will be good for you.

Good morning, DDA!

I somehow missed getting onto the DIS yesterday at all!!

We are also getting ready for Frankenstorm. Although scheduled to hit north of us, we ought to be having quite an experience for 3-4 days. Our governor has already declared a state of emergency here in Virginia.

Meanwhile, I have doomed us all by going into a cooking frenzy (not storm related) and my freezer is filled with Pulled Pork BBQ, Brunswick Stew, Chili, Pizzaburgers, Red Sauce and Kielbasa-Lentil Soup. What the heck was I thinking?!?!?! At least if we lose power for an extended time the neighborhood will eat well, right?

We're expecting to feel the storm too, but it is unclear what we'll get. Wind for sure, but not sure if we'll get rain, snow, mix They're saying a Nor Easter with a Hurricane at the center I need to pick up some groceries tomorrow anyway and we need to put the outside furniture downstairs. We'll probably tie down the gas grill but that's all we need to do. I should charge our lantern just to be safe. We sit on high ground and had no ill effects from Irene though so many around us did. I hope we're not under estimating it.

Good morning, DDA!

Everyone stay safe this week, please!!

 

[tmfranlk]

Stay safe everyone out East. I hope Sandy is kinder than expected. We'll be thinking of you.

Good Morning,

Well I head back to work this morning, Richie is dead set against it, but I feel I have no choice, so I go back to light duty with restrictions.

Glynis - hopefully everything will work out for them

To my friends in the path of Sandy, stay safe and keep us posted

Is there a link for the Animal Kingdom Villas? I thought I saw one in someone's signature once, but just looking for general info on them.

Thanks!!!

Good morning, DDA!

Hope everyone is as fine as we are this morning.

 

[my3princes]

Hi all. We are having the heavy rains now. We had winds gusts earlier, seems worse now than yesterday. All are safe here. Hopefully things calm down tomorrow. Hope everyone is safe with minimal damage.

 

[MrsHeg]

Glad to hear everyone made it through the storm

Jen - I know you don't get on here very often, but please know Bob and I are keeping you close to our hearts as you all work through the devastation in your area. I know you are sad.

Wow! Where does the time go??? Katie turned 15 in July, and I can't get her to even crack the handbook open. She really doesn't want to learn to drive! Alan is going to have to force the issue, I think!

 

[Glynis]

Good afternoon, DDA!

Jen - I know you don't get on here very often, but please know Bob and I are keeping you close to our hearts as you all work through the devastation in your area. I know you are sad.

Jen - the same goes for me and my family! Please know that you are in our thoughts. I hope that you are doing ok. Please let us know.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[MrsHeg]

Jen - My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, although Richie and I came through Katrina with minimal damage compared to several, we have several family members who didn't. The good news is that they have all either rebuilt or relocated and are doing well now.

It is still shocking when I drive down our beach area, so many people were unable to rebuild, the reason being is they were unable to insure their properties, the cost is unbelievable.

We as a country need to come together to help those in need, it was so wonderful to see all the people here to lend a helping hand after the storm, without them and the generous financial donations we would not be where we are today. I don't have a lot to give but I figure what I do have will be a small help, I plan on donating to the Red Cross, they were amazing.

One of our local businesses donated a box truck which has been pared at Walmart since Friday. The truck was completely filled by this afternoon and leaves at 6 AM tomorrow morning for New Jersey. Our community remembers the devastation that we went through just last year and is reaching out to help our neighboring states as they did for us
