Subject: How nice of you to share power! I feel for anyone without power but till Christmas?? How awful! People don't need that added stress this time of year! I have running to do today then will try to chop some more ice since today it's supposed to be warmer than the rest of the week. Might have ice till March! Dink lies on the heat duct, the rest aren't into snuggling in, maybe they are like me, always warm! I have to watch Bogie's glucose today, yesterday he was sky high to the point of peeing on the floor. That's not like him at all. Zeke is done with his meds and is doing well. Will finish emailing you later Sandy.
In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Happy Thursday. Even though Gerry's had 2 1/2 days off this week, it sure seems to be a long week. Maybe it's because we've been holding our breath, hoping the power would stay on. Late yesterday afternoon, we strung together several outdoor extension cords to reach clear across the street so our neighbors could plug in their freezer and then their sump pump, since those 2 + inches of rain/ice we got have drained down into the soil and caused the sump pumps to start running. Happily, their power came back on at 8:40 p.m. last night and has *stayed* on. But there's still 10,000+ in our county alone waiting for power. Now they're saying that it could be Christmas before some people get their lines repaired. Ouch!!!" on 5:40:26 am, Thu, 12/13/07

  • Sandy, that was so nice of you and Gerry to run the extension chords to your neighbors....I'm sure they really appreciated it. It's a wonderful thing when we can reach out to our neighbors to help when they are in need.
    we are finding that with my Dad. For years he has kept the entire neighborhood shoveled out and snow-blowed out..well this year he just hasn't been able to do it and his neighbors have been the greatest....his sidewalks and driveway have been cleared of snow each and every day. Rick was on days last week and by the time he'd get there after work the shoveling was all done..and this week he's on 2nd and by the time he got our driveway done and went to my Dad's his was already done too...Thank God for good neighbors/friends...
