On Saturday night/Sunday morning, Hurricane Irene came through Connecticut - and left lots of destruction in its wake. Thankfully, everyone we know is safe and their houses are safe.
We lost power at the house we are staying at, and still don't have it back, although our friends bought a generator, so we now do have lights & water. It is amazing what you take for granted. We can now see at night, shower, and cook again, yay! (Although, the last few candlelit nights were romantical haha) We saw lots of downed trees and power lines...and even drove under a huge tree, and saw boiled pavement...our friend saw people kayaking down the street by the beach!
Still no cable, which means no internet or tv...I'm sitting at Starbucks to get some things done :)
There was a TON of damage in Quechee,VT where we got married and where my parent's condo is. Thankfully the condo is ok (we think), but Simon Pierce got flooded (the glass blowing room was destroyed), and the bridge was half washed out...it is so sad to think of that beautiful place ruined.
Well, that is it for now...hope you all have power and are doing well!
