Saving Halloween

Although it was strongly recommended we not take our children out to trick or treat we went. Of course our route was scouted for safety earlier in the day.

We are strong willed New Yorkers and won't let this storm or anything else break our spirit!

Seeking the Holy Grail

Today, 3:30 PM I have been standing in a line of people patiently waiting for one of the most desirable and elusive items this week; no it's not Rolling Stones tickets, it's a generator.

3:45 PM There was just a head count and I'm number 38. Don't really care about the capacity just as long as it can run the sump pump! Lets see how this all turns out.

4:00 PM. Second head count, now I'm 25. Some folks are disappointed the item is being rationed to one per customer. Be grateful you're getting one at all. If I do I sure will be!

4:15 PM line is moving, slowly. Very quiet for such a big group. 6 more ahead of me. Cold and windy for sure.

4:30 PM just paid for and I'm waiting for the captain and the princess to come and pick it up.

4:45 PM The captain and the princess arrive bringing Taco Bell.

5:00 PM next on the list extension cords and gas cans.

5:30 PM got extension cord but no gas can.

6:00 PM borrowed gas can

7:00 PM borrowed extra extension cords

8:00 PM last minute comfort food run.

9:00 PM dinner and Lego. The princess and captain aren;t very hungry as they stopped at Mickey Dee's after they left me.

9:45 PM Be well and stay safe

Amish County Chopper sweatshirt. Shows a buggy with a chopper from. Cute. Except the shirt was mfg outside the us.
