Last week we were in Key West with a scheduled flight home on Tuesday.
But Tuesday Hurricane Sandy visited the Mid-Atlantic states, our home.
We made a pre-emptive strike and changed our flight on Sunday.
This was a good thing because they closed the Philadelphia airport.
We were forced to stay an extra 2 days in Florida. Don't cry for me!
This was part of the yin and the yang.
I was in a beautiful sunny place, but my family and home
and Bailey were going to be in the middle of the hurricane.
There was a happy ending for us.
We lost power for 2 days, but no damage to my home.
The house was warm and the power was on wen we arrived home.
We were lucky. Some were not so lucky.
I grew up on Long Island.
In high school, my friends and I spent the summers at the beach.
My heart aches.
I just signed up to make blocks for Hurricane Sandy quilts through Quilting Gallery.

Love seeing your pieces commemorating events in your week.
ReplyDeleteWe made out well, just a tree on a fence but our power stayed on.
My parents were from long island, so I spend my summers there when I was young, would love to go back to visit, but have heard it has changed a lot. My relatives live in the Ammagansett and Springs areas.

I think your block really says it all!
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad how bad they were hit.
