    My time on here this week will be limited. We are cleaning up from a category 2 hurricane... "Arthur" that hit us the last two days. No power, no house phone and no Internet. Just cell phone...Little hard typing on this small phone :mad: .

    I don't have many words other than "May God bless you and yours"

    Keep well, and worry about the cleanup and others in your area. I am sure we all hope all is well with you and will wait for your return.

    Thanks!

    Wishing you and yours well, and hoping your cleanup is relatively brief, and easy.

    I'm back...:hi2: . Got the power back Tuesday and internet Wednesday. Still 3500 homes without power in my area but they just got some extra help from our friends across the border in Maine (USA) , 14 power company trucks came to help out so this should speed things up. At my house I lost a few small trees and some how my cottage (34' RV) which over looks "The Bay Of Fundy" made it but the other 4 camps on my road was not so lucky, fallen trees did a number on them. My son in law had to cut his way to the camp, three trees were down on the road so he could get the generator out of the camp. Still a lot of cleaning up to do but at least no one was hurt so that's a good thing. Well off to work...
