Sandy is coming

We woke up this morning to find out Sandy is passing up her trip through New York City and is heading straight to Philadelphia without passing Go! She's going to miss some great shopping in NYC but I'm sure she'll grab a Philly Steak on her ride!

Seriously though, Husband and I are one hour from Philadelphia so we're a bit concerned. We live in a brick home with a basement that we are told is "flood proof". I guess we'll verify that today. Husband received a phone call last night that his office is closed so we'll just hunker down here and wait it out together.

The skies are ominous and it's eerily quiet in Lancaster.  It's a strange morning.

We spent the weekend buying gallons of water, a kerosene lamp, and dry food. We decided we needed one bag of Doritos in case life gets unbearable. I also bought a 500 piece puzzle that Husband rolled his eyes at. The funny thing though was I couldn't get him to go to bed last night as he was searching for a piece of that puzzle to finish his little corner. I have a feeling that may be our life saving activity today.

We're off to shower as we may not see water coming out of those faucets for quite some time.

Say a little prayer for for everyone over here who may not have a warm house to hunker down. It's  going to be one heck of a day for all of us but for those people it will be just pure awful.
