Friday October 11th-

Never let your circumstances 
dictate your actions…

Arvid, Sniff and I are all good.  We lost power a few 
hours after Hurricane Milton made landfall in Sarasota. 
 At the same time we also lost internet connection. We 
regained power in less than 24 hours, but no internet. 
 Compared to what others are going through 
we have been once again truly fortunate.


Yesterday while we had no power, of course we 
were restless and needed to do something.  We went
 to check out the area.  In our area there was no flooding
 remaining. There was debris from broken branches. The 
wind was strong. It howled on Wednesday night like crazy.  
Even with Hurricane impact windows we heard it.

Sniff was pretty brave during all of this. He did 
not run and hide a lot.  Mostly he stayed close to Arvid 
and I tucked in snugly and happily.  He’s a trouper.

Yesterday we went “hunting” for food.  There is 
still over two million customers in Florida without power.
 Tampa alone has almost one million without.  By the way,
 Nina and David’s home in Tampa did good. 


Relief all around.  So in our search for food, 
we tried several places that had power or were working 
on a generator.   Most did not, but the ones we found 
lines/wait was too crazy.  We drove around a bit and 
eventually came across a Burger King. Arvid was so 
happy  same here. A warm meal is a warm meal.


As of right now we still have no internet and
 depending on where we go we also lose cell service.  
But we’re still better off than so so many.

Today’s post may not be the best in-terms of 
 alignment.  First time using my iPhone to write my blog.  
But this is what’s going on. We are doing good,
 and as always we continue to stay busy.

Good morning and a good day to all. 
After the storm the days are always so beautiful. 
Yesterday was a gorgeous day.  Today is also
  looking to be the same, also, it is Friday


Your present circumstances don’t  
determine where you can go; they merely
determine where you can start…
