Just wanted to post to let everyone know we're safe and sound, and so is the house. I really was literally afraid for the house and for our lives at the height of the storm. We have no power, and won't have for some time to come from the look of it. Trees down close to the house, branch on car which has a dented roof and no back window now. Cold in house, of course. Girl child is in the same boat -- no power, but she has places to go where she can power up her cell phone and stay warm during the day at least. Boy child unaffected, has power, classes on as of Tuesday.
Will post again when I am able. Thanks to everyone for the good wishes. I pray all my friends are safe after Sandy. And I pray for no more Sandys in future.
ETA: I won't be answering comments due to the situation. But thanks so much for all your comments and good wishes!!

I hope power is restored before too long.

Oh Margaret....I've been thinking of you all week. Then when I saw that you had posted on a day other than on a Monday and read your blog post title, I knew there was a problem.
Try to stay warm and take care of yourself. Do you have one of those battery operated stitching lights that I've been reading about?
Please keep us posted as to how things are going with you and your family.
Thanks for letting us know Margaret...you and loved ones have been on my mind. Stay safe...sending hugs your way!

Oh Margaret, I was worried about you! I'm glad to hear you doing as well as can be expected all things considered. Take care and stay safe! Hugs!!!
What a mess. My family in NJ are probably still without power. Our summer cottage in Maine is very damaged. Glad you are OK! I can only imagine how it must have been to be in the midst of this crazy storm.
So pleased to hear you are ok. Possessions can be replaced. My niece in Hoboken is also ok and has been relocated with no power until the 5th November at least.
Love to all of you
Mary

Glad to know that you and your loved ones (Mia included) came through this horrible storm safe. That must have been quite an ordeal. :(
Sorry to hear about the car.
Crossing fingers that the power is back on soon. Same goes for your daughter.
Glad to hear that your family and Mia are safe!
I hope the power comes back soon!
Take care, Evelyne
Margaret, glad to know you guys are okay and sorry that you have to go through it. We have been through the same thing and those storms are quite scary! Hope you get power soon!
I love your sampler grouping! Stay safe and warm. Thinking of you and hope your power comes back on soon.
Glad to hear that you and yours are safe. We went through the same thing during the big snow in 2009, I know how miserable the cold is.. hope you get power soon, Keep Mia in a warm place,if you can with blankets. Hope you all can at least start a fire and here's hoping you get power soon. Will keep thinking and praying.
So so glad to read that you and your family got through Sandy safe and sound. I just hope that you get your power back real soon.
I am so glad you are safe and still have a home! I sent you an email this morning asking, dummy me - check the blog first. I am relieved to hear too, that your kiddos survived - I was thinking how bonkers I would be about my son away. I be Mia is really freaked now, boychild moving, vacation and then a storm! Take care, keep warm and look forward to hearing from you when you have your power back...
How horrible. I can't even imagine what you must be going through. Thinking of you and hoping that power gets on soon!
Linda
Just read your update post. I wish I could send you power in an envelope! I would if I could. I just keep hearing people complaint about this and that and I think just by the grace of god and that could be me without power. Hang in there. Help in on the way. I live on the 95 corridor and I have seen the convoys of trucks hearing north to help restore power. Help is on the way but there are just so many people in need. Snuggle up and stay warm.....it cant be long now.
{{{Hugs}}} hope you get power back soon
Glad you are safe and hope you get your power back real soon. Just read your latest blog post and think it's awful that you are still waiting. Thinking of you x
