Hurricane Sandy: Part II

It's Wednesday and already it's been a wild week. With a family wedding last weekend, the big ol' storm, and two days out of school, I'm so out of whack. Please forgive the inundation of non-lesson posts these past few days. I promise to get an actual lesson up today or tomorrow. Until then...

We've weathered (pun!) the storm here in our part of PA. At the Connell house, we had a few small branches come down, but considering our house is surrounded by old, tall trees, we were quite happy with a couple of manageable limbs. Half of the lattice wall on the back porch flew off, too--not a big deal at all. The basement is dry, we have power, our home is in tact. Amen!

There were many who didn't fare so well, including some neighbors. I cannot believe some of the images I'm seeing from New Jersey and New York City. Our prayers are with those who were affected.

On a lighter note, here are some of the ways we got through the howling wind and crashing rain earlier this week:

Contemplated life...
Watched TV...
Snuggled with a slipper...
Took a nap (or two or three)...
Looked around suspiciously...
Hid under a pillow...


Back at school today. On Halloween. After a four-day weekend. NEAT! Should be an interesting day!

  1. OMG your dog is soooo cute! My grandmother used to have wiener dogs! I love corgis too! Something about the short legs, long bodies, and sometimes round bellies gets to me!

    1. I KNOW! They're just irresistible to me. My parents had two when I was growing up, so when my husband, who had never had a dog, said he was desperate for a pup, I knew what kind we had to have. He's our little baby--we're totally 'those' people and I love it. :)
