Our well was hit a couple of months ago for the 2nd time. We were away and found out when we got home and there was no water after the holding tank ran out.Had to replace the pump. Both times we had someone come out within a day. So grateful.

Live in NJ, predictions are we may be without power for 3 - 5 days, can't bear the thought of not quilting. For sure I will go nuts in the house with just my DH and no power.
Other people are preparing for the hurricane, I'm preparing for boredom!
In all seriousness, I wish everyone in the path, minimum damage, no loss of life or property, and above all, safety!

I fill the clothes washer so I can use water from there. If I don't need it, just do laundry later!

know what hurricanes are like. For anyone who is planning on evacuating, be sure to take enough clothes and anything else you would normally need daily. When our family left New Orleans before "Katrina" struck, we took enough to last about three days. As it turned out, we were gone three weeks and had to buy extra personal things.
Take care and bless you and your family.

I just finished putting up some grape jam and picked all the tomatoes that were ripe or almost ripe and am cooking them down now for sauce.
While I wish I had gotten the belt my treadle needs, we'll be at my sister's house and she was already a bit put off by my announcement that I was bringing m computer and two best sewing machines. "Where are you going to put them???" She is a darling, but I just don't know ... she plans to go to a seafood festival tomorrow. Huh?
I feel most badly for my son since he will be away from his girlfriend. What can you do? She was invited to come with us but she didn't want to leave her roommate and her pitbull. So she is going to her mother's house -- also right on the water.
