~ halloween postponed...

Our front porch is eerily silent this halloween due to hurricane sandy.  Governor Christie has rescheduled the trick or treating festivities for November 5.




------------------------
Our experiences earlier today...

~ no internet, phone, tv
~ no power
~ no cell phone
~ no sun
~ no fun...

I was using my laptop on battery power -- connected via wifi on battery power.

---------------------------

Our electric, internet, tv and phone came back on around 3 p.m.  My cell phone is still a bit iffy (tracfone).

Hope you're all okay.  I haven't heard from anyone since this happened.

~ preparing for Sandy's arrival...

~ Prepare for the worst...



~ Hope for the best...  I paid "Mr. PSE&G" early -- hopefully he will keep our lights on!

~ Stay safe!

~ the colors of autumn...

...maybe I need to hang up a sign?



Hmmm... this guy has been using our swimming pool as his own private nighttime spa.  Rick spied him in there one morning before taking Nicholas to the bus stop.  By the time he got back, Mr. Froggy Toad was nowhere to be found.  Most of the frogs/toads need assistance to get out of the pool.  Rick said this guy is a "biggie".  Sorry, Mr. Froggy Toad -- time to find another pond. :-)

goodbye summer...
