I'VE GOT THE POWER!!!
Gram L and Carolyn are finally checking the blog after being without electricity since Hurricane Wilma knocked us out on Monday. Today is Thursday, and we have been blessed with power since last night after everyone was in bed. Joe and I got up in the night to empty the coolers back into the fridge. (My refrigerator has NEVER been so full - with everyone else's food that was spoiling at their houses) So along with the great weather (50s at night and 80 in the day) - we have all the creature comforts we have become accustomed to. Except for gasoline. That is a precious commodity. You must wait in LONG lines to obtain that golden liquid. However, Sean had many gallons stored in his garage, so we drove up there and raided his house. Dani's parents have also utilized some of that, but we are hoarding the rest. I heard Megan is looking for some. (Call me, if you want to drive over to get some - we'll share). Joe has been called into work to check on all the sex offenders in the county. The state has issued him a vehicle, even. This is a first! I have not been able to contact my job - so I'm just not going until next week.
Sean and Dani are having a great time in Colorado, even tho they went flying down an expert ski run without any lessons and nearly killed themselves. Sean was even intimidated by that mountain. He says you need to be experienced to try that. Daniela stopped halfway down, cried, and hitched a ride on a snowmobile. Sean skied/tumbled the rest of the way down. They have done more sane things, like horseback riding, biking, hiking, jeep touring, etc. I think it's an extreme honeymoon. I wish they would post on the blog. Sean has his laptop with him.
Austin and Bodi (the pit bull) are having fun over here, and since there is no school, we are chilling out. Now that we can do laundry and dishes, we're happy. Soon we'll have to start calling the roofers and tree chopper uppers to get this place back to normal. We lost many shingles and one of our palm trees in front. We now officially have ONE tree left on our lot. If anyone is hungry, please come on over because we have WAYYYYYY too much food in our fridge, all waiting to be eaten. We can feed you anything from shrimp and crabmeat to Italian sausage from Chicago's stock yards which came out of the Antonacci's shop. We have ravioli, lasange, proscuitto, gnocchi, wedding cake, buffalo burger meat, and lots and lots of cheese.
Anyhow, we're fine and getting back to normal slowly but surely. Thanks for the prayers. --Carolyn

We are so glad to hear that things are beginning to return to normal. It sounds like a journey that may take a while, but a well fed one.
