Hurricane Earl



Morning All, Well, we made it thru this one just fine and now he is headed up the East Coast. It's very dark in here when all the shutters are up. No elec. for 4 days. Just so you guys know, we have a phone that doesn't require elec and that worked fine.The food thing was quite a hassle, coolers and ice and all. Cooked everything that was in the freezer except the wahoo. We should go shopping, but I hesitate because the containers for the stores were due to come in on the day of the storm. Makes me wonder how long stuff has been on the shelves by today. We were very lucky here in STJ. there was minimal damage to anyone's house. Some boats up on shore near Cruz Bay, but this end of the island experienced nothing except a lot of debris in the roads and having to replant, etc.

In the midst of all this, Nathan called Wed morning and said they had taken Julie to the hospital. she was complaining of stomach pains. At midnight, they called the Dr. and he had her sent to U of M in an ambulance. Long story short, there was nothing wrong with her. They kept her for observation and Evan went to get her the next day. We spoke to her on his phone as they were on their way back to Gilbert Res and she really had no idea what had happened. She has a boyfriend at Gilbert who waited in the foyer there for 4 hours for her to return.

Going to MI after Oct. 15. Herb and Kathy, would love to come see your new house.

Hope the fair is going well for David and Lisa. Sounds like an aweful lot of work!!

Marilynn, did Earl sweep by you guys? What about the house in Dover Bluff. Looked like you guys might get some winds from Earl.

Well, yogurt and fruit are calling. I'm trying to post more pics, but am having trouble.

love you guys,
