What a week this has been and it is only Wednesday.

Sandy arrived on Monday with ferocious winds. Our neighborhood has lost many, many gorgeous, old trees. It is rumored that 100 houses in our community have trees that have crashed through their roofs. This number does not include the massive number of trees lying across streets or lawns. Power is out to seventy percent of our town. Our schools have been shut down for the week.

But we are all safe.

And Rob’s parents (only 20 minutes away) have power.

So we are baking, reading, game playing and trying our best to keep in each other’s good company as it is pretty unclear how long we will be powerless.

More to come…
