I will start blogging more regularly again soon. My husband was away last week and I struggled. Physically and mentally worn. We are going to a favorite vacation spot for Christmas! I'm looking forward to that. My elbow hurts a lot. I tried tonight to wipe down the refrigerator, and just lifting the bottle of … Continue reading Updates

Day 1
We lost power around 3 am. We couldn't get the generator on until close to 4 pm. The generator can't run the ac or the stove or most of our outlets, so I'm hoping this is the one and only day of no power, but we'll see. The storm swung south, so it wasn't as … Continue reading Day 1
