Dear Mom,

I have been thinking about you all day with the storm approaching. I am glad to read you are taking shelter with friends!!!

How cute--Bailey strapped into the front seat watching you the whole time!!!!

I hope you can get home by Tuesday. The weather channel said NY would have storms thru Thursday I believe. You know how to get rain--send it my way if you can!!!

Sending lots of (((((HUGS))))!!!!

Maryland sounds nice if you have to evacuate. My granddaughter is applying to Goucher College in Towson, outside of Baltimore. We have seven colleges on our list

You are going to have to tell me about this ice making knee machine.

Stay safe and hold on tight to Little Miss. I am sure everything will be just fine and you will be home soon and Sister Marie Irene and I will be back in the non basement snuggled in our beds and Frankenstorm will be but a memory.

love ya girlfriend

It doesn't make ice, silly Addy.....it looks like a beverage cooler. You fill it up so far with water and then you add ice to fill it up. I have an electric pump for it and it constantly circulates the ice water around the knee. Greatly helps reduce swelling and helps relieve pain.

Looks like no going back before Wednesday, if then.

Thanks for the well wishes guys. That is very nice. I appreciate it.

Hi Susan,

Thinking of you as I watch the storm coverage. I hope you and Bailey and Bob are warm and dry.

Hoping everything is okay

Picture of our house is posted. We are still in MD.

Good to hear from you. Where is a picture of your house posted? Is the house ok?

You OK?

OMG, Susan. I cannot believe how high the water is in the picture you posted. I am hoping that any water damage is limited to your basement, if you have a basement. I'm glad you are safe in MD.

Here is a link to Susan's picture:

Goodness Susan! Hope that water has gone down by now and that none got inside.

Any word on when you can go home?

We're still trying to get information. The Bay Bridge has reopened so we now can get back there.....or close. We were told the police are stopping cars to verify the passengers belong there....to help keep out looters, etc. We are still waiting to hear that our street is accessible.

Bailey is a hit wherever we go. She has been sleeping cuddled up with me. She has traveled extremely well. She is not "put off" by the unfamiliar surroundings.

The "plan" is to try to go back early tomorrow. If the water never got higher than in that picture, we will have mostly yard cleanup. We have been at that height twice before since moving in 10 years ago.
Fortunately the plants were all thoroughly watered....so that flood water, which is brackish and salty, would not have been taken up very much by the plants (which would kill them.) If the water continued to rise, it would have entered the garage. We raised as much off the floor as we could before we evacuated and took both cars when we left.

I'm very anxious to get back.
