Spared

Somehow or other, we over here on this side of the Island were spared the winds and the rains and downed trees.  We could see the high surf from out our window, and it was amazing to watch.

We had the flashlights out, the candles ready and the lighter at hand.  We even tied down the large items outside, moved the cars away from the portable basketball standard.  But luckily, we were spared.  We are grateful.

Now we have a northerly front coming down on the Island chain, and believe it or not, it's cold. Well, sweaters, instead of coats and gloves.  A light blanket on the single sheet to sleep at night. We can still walk on the beach in shorts and swimsuits.
