Sandy


Hurricane Sandy has already messed up my
weekend plans.  Anne and my sister Peggy and I
were supposed to be enjoying a road trip to 
Virginia, coming home on Monday.
A look at Sandy's own plans for Monday, and we decided to
stay put, right here in good ol' New Jersey.

That Old House has weathered many storms since 1832.
This is one more notch on her bedpost.

Peggy and Bill are battening down the hatches at our
beach house today.  Fingers crossed! 



To all who are in the path of what might turn out to be one
doozy of a storm . . . good luck, and let's use the good sense
God gave us to stay out of harm's way!  :-)


We are getting in our own car right now, though.
We have a date, with the little fella in the picture, above.
He's interviewing us.

Stay dry, East Coast Peeps!  -- Cass

    The puppy is adorable! Stay safe, Cass! Let's hope NJ doesn't get hit as hard as they are predicting. We have our generator ready but I sure hope we don't need to use it!
    Take care, Shelley

    Stay safe up there - we are thankful it won't be a direct hit on the Chesapeake here but worried for our friends up north. Sending good thoughts up your way!

    Stay safe with this storm coming your way. The little man is adorable and I hope he comes home with you, I'm anxious to hear if he did. He reminds me so much of my Miss Scarlet. I adore Caveliers and tri-colors.

    {{{HUS}}} to you and I will be thinking about you while this storm is in your area.

    If he's a she, maybe her name should be Susie, assuming it is just a notch in That Old House's bedpost.
    Take care & try to stay warm & dry & SAFE!
