WE HAVE POWER! Thank you to everyone one who prayed for us. It worked, the last 7 days were the worst of my life, I have never been as terrified as I was in this storm.
Don't Fret about not knowing details HA HA. I had nothing to do, but brush my teeth by lantern light, we three sat staring out this window for 7 days. NOTHING TO DO
But I could write with the old time pen and paper and wow, I have TWENTY pages of handwriting That I may or may not be able to translate. We have survived not one but two historical hurricanes that will be in the history books.
What I have learned is I do not want to ever go camping, and I am thankful I was born after they invented electricity, phones, water in the homes, electric ranges, fridges.
living out of and Ice Box, is on the list of things to tell.
I AM BACK. I might be slow, the house is A WRECK
TONIGHT I SLEEP WITH OUT THE NOISE OF GENERATORS SURRONDING US AND WE DID NOT HAVE ONE.
Than you to God, who protected us from this monster, and allowed us to live to create this post. thank you to all who supported me in different ways for the past 7 days.

Oh what a relief to hear you are back in the land of artificial light! Continue to take the time you need to get sorted - but yes, it's a joy to see you pop up on the screen again! YAM xx
That was such a long time. I'm so glad your power is back on. So glad you are safe. God did bless you. My sister and brother in law drove to Georgia. When they came home they didn't have power for several days. I was praying for you everyday. You take your time getting back to normal. We are all here for you. ((HUGS))
Yay! Rejoicing with y'all!! Been praying daily about everyone there. We were without power for 10 days so I feel for ya. Rest, recover, don't worry about trying to make everything perfect right away. I am SO happy for you! Love from your cousin to the "north".
And thank you to YOU for keeping all as up to date as was humanly possible. We are so glad the power is back. It must have been a week of hell. But take it one day at a time and all will be well. Hugs to you and Bob and Beau.

Welcome back. It’s good to know that your ordeal is mostly over, but you will not forget this experience any time soon. Hopefully Milton was the last hurricane for this season.
Oh my gosh. I am overwhelmed just by reading your story. How in the world did you do it? TWICE???? That was amazing. I don't like camping and out houses either. LOL I am so glad you are back - I have TRULY missed you.
It makes me think that we never know what we are missing until it is gone. I am glad you are safe and it seems you still have your sense of humor. Blessings and prayers- Diana
So very good to hear from you again. I checked everyday to see if there was word from you and was becoming very concerned each day not knowing. I tried to be patient & just prayed all was well. Thank you for letting us know you are all okay.
This makes my heart so very happy. I've no doubt you're still in recovery mode, but really appreciate you making time to keep us in the loop. Big hugs and love!
I am SO happy to hear that you are back "among the living" here in Blogland and elsewhere! What a wild ride you had in the meantime! Wow! So very thankful that your home was not damaged and that you were not 'damaged', except perhaps in your mental well being. It's no fun being so uncomfortable for so long at our age. Yes, leave the camping for the young folks! Now just try to relax and enjoy being back to "normal" again, and we will continue to pray that there will not be any more such storms in your area in your lifetime!! (((Hugs)))
We're so glad to hear you have your power back! Our mom gets stressed when the power goes out for a few hours so we can only imagine how rough it is to not have power for a week! It's great to hear you didn't have any damage to your home from the storms.
((((Big Hugs)))). Look to the future now.
We are all doing the happy dance here and maybe some normal will return soon!
I am thankful you have lived to tell the tell...
Soooooooo happy to "see" you!!!
Wonderful news! I also thought of your fear of the dark, so even when the storm passed you would have been in fear till now.
I'm so glad the ordeal is over!! We missed you so much and were worried about you. ❤️
Oh my goodness I am so happy to see you back!!! This is the best news!!! Welcome back my friend. What a nightmare you have had.
we are so happy to have you back... and we send good vibrations to all your neighbors... and thanks to the workers who bring power back... in many ways...
So happy that your power is finally back on and that you're back. This is the first blog I've read this morning and it's good news. Hooray!! I've been thinking about you every day and hoping that it was the day you would have electric again.
So happy to see you back online, as that is proof you're back IN POWER :) Take your time about catching up in Blogland etc, the main thing is you're safe and no longer cut off from the rest of the world...
Hello Sandra,
So happy to see you and that your power is ON. YAY!!!
Hubby and I have gone a week without power here, I know it is not fun. The generators are very loud, especially when everyone in the neighborhood has one. Take care and welcome back!
Oh my goodness me Sandra, Bob and Beau
I 100% agree with these lines
What I have learned is I do not want to ever go camping, and I am thankful I was born after they invented electricity, phones, water in the homes, electric ranges, fridges.
You were so missed and thought about daily
Hugs Cecilia
Absolutely Thank You Lord !!
I am so glad to have you back Sandra...battle scared but its onward and upward. Continued prayers for you 3 as you resume "normalcy" haha
Love you
Sue
Yayyyy! So pleased you are survived safely. I have been searching the internet news for Bradenton. So much flooding and destruction! You said your house is a mess but I hope you mean the difficulty of life 'off grid' and not that it has been damaged. I guess your garden/yard is trashed, but plants grow back. Sooo good to read your voice again.😍🤘😉😁🙏🙀😊
You have experienced the worst events in the past couple weeks, Sandra, and thank you for letting us know all about your experiences. I was happy to see this post and while it will certainly take time to recover emotionally and otherwise, you all made it through the storms.
I admit I was SO concerned for you!! But I prayed and prayed and trusted God and I know so MANY were also praying for you that I had a peace in my heart. God bless you and keep you as you recover from this huge ordeal! Truly - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and you ARE!! I love you, Sandra...
I'm so happy things are slowly getting back to normal for you, Bob and Beau. I'm sure it will take time though, you've survived a major disaster and it will take time to recover and get back to normal life. I've thought of you so much and it was so great to read this blog post.
We are so glad to hear you are safe and have power back!!!
thank you for the update on Facebook.
and yay! so happy to hear you’re safe and have power on.
