We got chased home from our SANDY Family Reunion in Virginia a day early by Hurricane Sandy! Quite ironic since the whole "Al SANDY Family" planned a Birthday / Halloween / Site Seeing /Reunion this past weekend in Williamsburg Virginia! It was the first time we were all together since 2008. Even though our trip was cut short, I am glad to be back safely in New Jersey! Many of the roads we traveled from Virginia last night are now closed. I just heard they are experiencing snow and blizzard conditions in North Carolina and Ohio. It's just crazy!
Jerry got everything secured on the home front over the weekend.
Rudy thinks it's great. He loves the rain.
I had to call him in at lunch time.
He is warm and dry under his waterproof blankie.
If it gets too nasty, I'll have to lock him in.
Jerry's making sure the paddocks are draining as well as possible.
No need to close the other horse in!
Princess Rita remains high and dry in her stall.
We sprung a leak in the barn, but so far Hurricane Sandy has been very kind to us.
Emergency conditions prevail in our area and all along the Eastern and now central part of the U.S. We have heard from the township, cable company and the electric company to expect outages. I am trying to get this out as fast as possible. It is blowing and raining like a bear!
Wanted you all to know we are fine and I hope you all are too! I never thought I'd be living through a major hurricane named SANDY!
Stay safe!

You are in my thoughts. Hoping everyone remains safe and dry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! Same to you guys!! Hugs, Sandy
DeleteYou have been so much on my mind; I knew you were down in Williamsburg and wondering what the heck you were going to do. I am glad you were a faster Sandy than the Hurricane Sandy. Good luck with that leak in the barn. Stay safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteWe are battening down the hatches here too, stocked up on batteries water soup etc. Hang onto your hats!
Good to hear from you, Robin! Glad you are all prepared. Stay safe and thanks for your concern! Hugs and Purrs, Sandy and the kitties
DeleteJust got your message.Thanks for your call and concern Robin! I will contact you tomorrow. :-D - - HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
DeleteSandy is so large, it is the size of more than one storm. Therefore, I am declaring that she should be called Sandy Sandy. What do you think?! ~ Cheryl
ReplyDeleteI think it's an awesome idea, Cheryl. (As long as she is merciful to us.) :-D
DeleteYes, Sandy Sandy for sure! You have been busy and I'm glad the Sandy clan is safe home now. Where'd you get that witch? She's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your message Mary! The witch came from the local thrift shop. Isn't she ugly!? She got a lot of attention and smiles from folks on our road trip!
DeleteI pray you and your family are surviving this terrible storm! We were lucky in that we haven't had too much damage here in our area. Just loss of power in some areas and a big mess. Other than that, very blessed!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kim
Hey Kim! We just got our cable back tonight (Wednesday night). Our cell phones don't work at the house, so I was completely out of the loop (no TV, internet or phone). We never lost our electric though and our damage from the storm was minimal. Sandy was very kind to us indeed!!
DeleteWOW ... they named a hurricane after you! Kidding aside, I hope you are all fine and safe there. Rita looks so snug in her stall - she doesn't even look like she has much of a winter coat yet. I've been watching updates on New York City - how horrible!!! I feel so sorry for all those people in the flooded areas. My thoughts are with you - stay safe, warm and dry.
ReplyDeleteWe were all very lucky with our encounter with SANDY here Kathryn. I truly appreciate your concern! (Rita never gets much of a winter coat / Just the opposite for Rudy.)
