Just when you've had enough of 2020 and all that is happening, we got a big blow. Thank you to all the friends for checking on me I so appreciated it and I'm grateful for my social media friends.
Hurricane Isaias hit us very hard. It was a mostly dry event with twirly swirly wind. We lost power about 4pm on Tues. 8/4/20
Now, I can do without power but we also lose water. .....that means no bathing and no flushing.....
My entire yard looked like my deck.
This was a common site all over our town and surrounding towns.
Mr. Fun was able to find a hotel room with poweso that he could continue to work. I stayed home with coco and drove the 45 mins to sleep with a/c and have shower and charge up my laptop and phone.
While home I ate fresh vegetable and bread salad so I wouldn't have to open the fridge. (note the hand fan)
To break the silence of my house the roar of neighboring generators I started watching The Civil War Documentary Series by Ken Burns. It was good company for quilting.
I also put together this puzzle. It was a gift from my friend, Nancy, and it was a great diversion! Thank you, Nancy, it is coming your way soon.
With the power still out on Friday afternoon, we scrambled to find a hotel that would accommodate us and our dog, coco. (Andrew was able to stay with friends closer to the home).
I was so grateful to return home on mid-day Sunday to start the big clean out and clean up. The fridge and freezer had to be trashed except for a few things that weren't open.
I was so grateful for power, I didn't even mind cleaning :)
Nutmeg was so happy to have us home again. She was happy to pass judgement on my medallion quilt project.
Here is hand quilting progress on my Whig Rose. This is the back so you can see the stitching. I used Moda Natural wide muslin.
I'll be back for more on this project next time.
If you are missing quilt shows as much as I am, you will enjoy this short Documentary.
