Putting porch and garden furnature away in preparation of the coming hurricane. I am very leary of the expected power outtages. Worried about how long they might last. Have plenty of supplies on hand though so I am as prepaired as I can be.

I hope it moves through very quickly and does no damage.

Me too but I doubt it.

Good luck to Rita, and all the people about to be affected. I'm glad you at least had a little bit of warning.

Gloria - send the rain my way!!! I'll take it!!! Really!! We definitely could use it here...

I hope the storm - or combination of storms as predicted - misses you folks on the coast completely!

keep safe Rita praying for you and my family members out you way

Toni I have been trying to send you rain all summer !!!!may be I'm not twitching my nose right

Rita, are you there? Are you okay?

hoping every one is safe !! my grand sons building is swaying hes in NJ and on the 22 nd floor !! haven't heard from my brother and family yet

Scary stuff!

I'm hoping that everyone on the east coast here is OK.. been watching the news & it's been horrible!

The photos of Larissa and Red Riding Hood in the DG photo contest make me want those roses. I must remember them for next year's Palatine order.

You have no room!!

We all know that something else will die and make room for two more.

any one hear from Rita yet ???

No word from Rita or from Pirl, and they both live on Long Island.

Someone on DG said they heard from pirl, that she was OK.

Thanks, Sue. That's a relief!

thank you still waiting on my family

My power just came back on this evening. I posted an update of what has been going on here on the November chat thread.
