New Jersey Needs You!

Please send our beloved, ruined state, your prayers, love & positive vibes - we desperately need it, especially our devastated coastal communities and I would be so grateful to y'all! NJ needs all the help we can get.

I can't share my Nikon photos with you until we get power back, and, these from my Blackberry only give a hint of the local devastation. It's unlike anything I've ever seen first hand before. And I hope I never see this again. I'm stunned and utterly heartbroken. So grateful we fared well compared with Irene last August, in tears over so so many who've literally lost Everything & are now homeless.

Hubbs is already taking applications for vacant apartments and once the power is on, we can send those through & see who management can approve. And we've already got a waiting list in case we get any more vacancies. The tenants who have left the complex to stay with family and friends (who have gas stoves and/or fireplaces) along with us have been each other out - those of us with generators have been making pots of coffee and hot water for those without generators, charging cell phones and so on.

We are bone weary exhausted but all things considered, Very Lucky. I'm am overwhelmed.

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
