yarn along from the jersey shore

Hi from the jersey shore. i am trying to make this post from my phone. we are on day 9 without power. as much as we have tried to stay positive and thankful, i think i am losing it. my dad secured a generator for us last night so we had some lights, tv and our electric fireplace. The temperature is 39 degrees right now. We are freezing!!!!!

My beloved beach is destroyed. our towns are in a state of disaster. our children are now missing two weeks of school. my husband is doing his best to help his students staff and family. my dads business has been greatly effected. But the posotive side of this all is you realize how much our friends and family mean. People have opened their homes for a hot shwer, coffee, laundry and warmth. We will be ok.

Of course have been knitting and reading through this time!!!!!! 

i finished reading The Orchard, a memoir. Now I am reading The Light Between Oceans.

i knitted a hat for charity, fingerless gloves, chases sweater and now working on baby legwarmers in alaca. i will try to add a photo, but not sure if it will work from phone.

I know many of our followrrs have been praying for us. keep it up!!!!! we need power!!!!
