Lights On

After 10.5 days without power, our home was restored late last night. Because of that high efficiency heating system I spoke of....it was back to normal temperatures in about an hour. 

There are thousands still without power, so I will be taking food to my local food bank today. If you would like to do something, no matter where you live, donating food to those who need it will always put a smile on your face.


Thank you ALL for your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers. You kept me going. 

I'll be back to normal blogging on Monday.

Sweet pea! I am so sorry for all that has been going on! I was worried about you. I am glad to hear that you are ok but I know others are still suffering. I have missed you and look forward to having you back!

Cathy Wall said...

Glad you are FINALLY back up and running. 10 1/2 days is a marathon and I hope that others who still do not have electricity get it back soon. Any insight on the best way to help?

Yay! I know that must have been a real test of everyone's patience. Hope you are loving a toasty warm house today.

Nancy said...

Thank God. I have donated water, coats and essentials so far, but still feel inept, especially in the wake of another Nor'easter. Im so glad youre back, you have been missed! Hope your life normalizes soon.

City Farmhouse said...

Hi Linda, I am so glad you and your family are ok. I have been thinking of you but things have been crazy here too. We finally got power back Sunday night. Your neighborhood, wow, I am so sorry for all who have lost their homes. We have several friends who lost their homes in Long Beach, LI. I feel so lucky that we made out ok. Enjoy your heat:)!!!!

Nicole Scott said...

So glad to hear you're ok. Been thinking about you!

Lisa @ Shine Your Light said...

Thank goodness! So glad you have power back! My heart is breaking for all those whose power came back only to lose it again with this Nor'easter. Ugh. Hope your life (and theirs!) gets back to normal soon.

Lauren (The Cottage Mix) said...

Linda, so happy to hear that! Hope you guys are staying warm tonight :)

I'm so glad to hear you have power! And that you're warm! Hopefully others will follow soon :) -Elisa

Geez, your place looks like ours. I was too shell shocked to even take photos -- there was just too much destruction. People on the South Shore of LI just lost everything and we all know someone who was displaced. We are on the North Shore so we lost a lot of trees, with some flooding, but not like on the South Shore. Crazy.
Glad you made it through ok. We were out of power from Monday 10/27 until Thursday, 11/7. I broke down and bought a generator on 11/6 and waited in line 3 hours to get gas. Lights came on the next day : ) Murphys law (and I am glad for it). I discovered that I will never be a camper! Have a good weekend. xo Amal

Congrats on power! Hope all in NJ and NY get back to normal life as soon as possible!

Karen Albert said...

Linda, I am so sorry you have been through so much. Glad you have heat...I feel so inept to help during a crisis like this. I am sending prayers and what I can to help.

Isn't it amazing how we depend on electricity! I am so happy you finally got yours back - ours was out for eight days, but we ended up going to a hotel because we didn't have running water, either. Enjoy your warm home this weekend!

Danylle McLain said...

Thank Goodness! Glad things are looking up! I donated to our local boy scouts food drive this week, it makes me happy every time I do it!

jeanine said...

I'm so glad to hear things are getting back to normal for you!

Vel Criste said...

I am relieved and glad for you Linda. I hope that the "gas shortage" is not so bad where you are. Praying for everyone else still. :-)

Jessie said...
