Heather Echola I think it is great that we can check on each other here. Opal thanks for letting us know you are okay. I keep checking in when I am not at work, etc. I hope that there is as much support for survivors of Sandy as there have been for other hurricanes.

BarBaraPrz Thanks for letting us know you survived Sandy. The storm effect wasn't as bad as predicted here in Hamilton, at least not that I've heard. My power did not go out. I left the gas fireplace going Monday night in case it did (it has an electric starter) and it...

mentalward Opal! I'm so glad to see that you survived this, too! We didn't do too badly here. Parts of Winchester did flood, lots of trees and power lines down. Our electricity went out a few times but came right back on, fortunately. Our lake flooded but it's better...
