Note about Hurricane Sandy:

 Fortunately God was good to us here in DownEast Maine. What we had was heavy rain and wind gusts up to 60 MPH, which is just a regular NorEaster for us. Our leaves were off the trees already so we didn't even lose power here on the coast.

Just in case people forget, these are amazing soldiers standing at the Tomb through the Super Storm.


Response from Stevie after Hurricane Sandy:

It was really bad here on Long Island for all the people who lived close to the water. So many people lost their homes. We are about 10 min. form the water so we were very lucky. We lost a couple of tree limbs, electric for 2 days along with cable (TV,Internet,telephones) and our cell phones worked sometimes. God was very good to us and our children. One son still has no electric but he does have a generator. The main thing is no one was hurt and our hearts go out to the people who have lost there homes. Our schools have been closed the past week and will not open until after the elections for a variety of reasons. It is amazing what we take for granted. Again thanks for asking. STEVIE

Picture no. 2 Me and Hal, Picture no. 3 me and daughter Theresa and granddaughter Taylor........It was a mini family reunion......... If you are ever in Austin you need to go to the Salt Lick Bar-B-Que place outside of town. Great food.......I'm also going to attach a couple of pictures of our trip to Oregon for our son's 50th birthday in July. We now have 2 kids over 50!......I was sorry to hear about Mike. He was a really sweet guy...... Hal and I are doing well. He golfs alot and we have started bowling again. I haven't bowled in at least 20 years and I'm doing good enough to keep my head up.......Take care and thanks again for your efforts with this blog! Marlen
