I can't say that I much liked the "nature enforced storm break" (as you so aptly termed it), and it's great to be back. <br /><br />Thank you so much for posting your poem—it captures the feeling of those days perfectly.ADELE KENNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556261298519747516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272430209314356497.post-18667961968270513692012-11-10T06:27:19.940-05:002012-11-10T06:27:19.940-05:00Thanks so much, Jamie and Nickie!

The power is all back as of yesterday, but we're still not getting much mail as a couple of the sorting facilities were flooded and a lot of mail was either lost of damaged. The strangest part of the experience was being so out of touch with people in the outside world. The age of technology has made that seem such a remote possibility, and it was a real eye-opener to experience no power for several days. I'll get this week's prompt posted shortly.
