Hurricane Helene — Goodbye and THANK YOU ALL

 Yes, only hours after the broken water pipe the power went off for 4.5 days...
Tree down near greenhouse...

Bridge totally out
Arounf 7 on 27th walked out from front door as garage is electric and am shut in without power
Last bridge
near greenhouse




The Vedder Estate...
Sorry no longer able to reply to comments as I'm in constant pain from thoracic spine area near stent–graft area from repair of tear in aorta...
My Pieter is reaching out to me for Christmas together in heaven.
It hurts to let go of family and loved ones and for kind of abandoning my 3 senior kitties of 17 years + 8 months.
Trusting those that love me will care for them when I'm gone.
It is weird for feeling life being slowly snuffed out but I'm not afraid as my soul is being carried by so many loved ones... 
Did admire Pieter for being such a rock in Faith all till his final breath.
Grateful for having lived in Faith and having found True Love! So grateful to all the support from the entire world, I felt uplifted!
Leaving my writings with now 4,800,000 views for my humble blog...

THANKS

Broken Water Pipe

 On September 26, I had a big scare...
First the Hurricane Warning at 17:32
That was the time I went downstairs to feed the 3 kitties...
Then at 18:53 there was so much water in the staircase area...
Yep, sure needed help in getting the water out.
My Catholic teens came to the rescue and helped with the squeegee to get the water into the garage and out...
By 19:20 someone came and turned off the main valve, as he discovered a broken pipe.
That was the culprit, right under the front porch, where the water pipe entered from outside, it needed repair.
Home Depot was already closed in anticipation of Hurricane Helene so an old piece got used...
A large dehumidifier was left and 4 fans...
Two fans in staircase area...
This one in the laundry room...
Another one in the laundry room...
BUT—by 1:30 AM, I had no power due to Hurricane Helene!
Only 4.5 days later we could finally use the wet vac.

Not a happy time...
But compared to others I cannot complain!
