November 2, 2012- Had A Nice Birthday

First of all I want to say that I sure hope all those people down in the city and New Jersey get some help. They say that FEMA isn't doing much. It's a terrible situation down there. I feel so bad for all those people. We are very blessed that we didn't get any damage from the storm. I still have a roof over my head and power. The power never went off at all during that wind. But yesterday, the 1st, the power went off at 5 pm for about 30 minutes. I have no idea why yet. I did hear sirens so I'm assuming it was an accident.
It's been raining on and off since Monday. But we do see peeks of the sun sometimes.
It was my birthday on the 1st. My sister, Debby came over Halloween night and spent a few hours. She didn't want to be home handing out candy..Ha!
Jeanne and Jane stopped over yesterday and Nina came with the girls later in the evening. I have so much sweet stuff around now. Yuck! I have decided that i am going to go on a Gluten free diet. Nina has been on it for a couple months and she feels great and doesn't even have PMS any more. She has had that all her life. Everyone I know that goes on it says they feel so much better.
The kids bought me scratch off lottery tickets and they were thrilled when I won on a few of them. Won $58!! I told Nina to keep it because I might need her to pick me up something at the store, now that the weather is getting colder.
I also got a nice surprise from a few of my classmates. The sent me a very nice dish garden. It's beautiful!
 So I guess I had a great birthday!! My 66th. Never know when it might be my last. I never expected to be here for this one. It's a miracle so far!
Here's the pics. I'll be back soon. Take care everyone.

Thanks for all the beautiful cards too!!
