Weather forecasters say that we are in the strike zone for Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy. So all that has been on the news is telling people to get prepared for possible power outages.
Well, Tim and I hit the grocery store
on Monday and really stocked up since we figured we’d be too busy with other
things before Thanksgiving, so the freezers full, including a few extra baggies
of ice, the Fridge is stocked, we have two cases of water, two cases of soda,
two huge packages of TT, bread, PB, Tuna, as well as a full tank of gas for the
grill, and batteries and candles coming out our whazoo. And of course, there’s
always the bar and wine cellar if we need something to drink.
I’ve charged both Nooks, my MP3,cellphone, and my laptop. I’ve even located
the portable TV that I gave Tim for Tailgates. Flashlights check, blankets
check.
We had already stored outdoor
furniture and the trees were trimmed a few months ago. (our power lines
are underground so we rarely lose power (knock on wood)) but we do have several
friends and family who lose power at the whiff of a storm (including Tim’s
sister, Mary-ellen) so reservations have been coming in for those who most
likely will lose their power. If they do the Fridge and freezer will get
more items and luckily, gas cook top will still work or we can use the tailgate
grill.
So I think we’ll be fine, if
anyone needs a port in storm, rooms are filling up fast, but we have plenty of
sofas, recliners, and floor space. All are welcome.
Stay safe all and just enjoy the
thrill of life!
