I'm Back :)

Have wondered where I've been? 

Well on Monday we felt the effects of Hurricane Sandy all day. School was cancelled, and everyone was prepared for the worst.  As the day wore on, it seemed to be just another rainy, windy day.  No big deal.

Boredom sets in

 

By nightfall we still had power, and we  thought we were out of the woods.  But then the winds picked up and shook the house.  The rain came down relentlessly, and the inevitable happened.  BAM, the power was out. For three days.  And I'm not complaining at all.  I know others had it much, much worse.

The little machine below kept us sane during this time, but I didn't have much internet access, and my poor blog had grown lonely.  I had planned a few of my posts ahead of time in case this happened, which is how Monday's post and my Wordless Wednesday's post were up, but I was unable to comment or return and linky love.  

One of my most prized possessions ~ the lovely generator

Last night our power finally returned.  Now that things are returning to normal around here, or shall I say as normal as they get, I'm back in business!       

Fridays I normally have my "Fabulous Friday Finds" up and running, and I'm hoping to make it happen tomorrow.  Crossing my fingers that I'll have time to prepare.  I can guarantee that my "NO RULES Weekend Blog Party" will be live tomorrow afternoon beginning at 12PM US EST!

This party is always tons of fun, and the party grows larger each week due to my fabulous bloggy friends! Last week there were almost 100 linkups! Spread the word near and far, and let's see this party continue to grow! 

I hope you all have a lovely day, and for those also affected by Hurricane Sandy, I send many well-wishes for a speedy recovery.

 Sincerely,

Paula
