All is well here ... no damage from the storm, animals and we are doing fine. But we have no Internet access ... a fiber optic line in Vermont that feeds our Internet provider was knocked out, so I am in town briefly using the library's Wi-Fi service. Will post more when our Internet service is back up.

I too am glad that you escaped the worst of the storm and that all is well. Thanks for the update. Lois in Ohio

As everyone else has said, I'm very glad to hear that you and all in your care are okay. It was frightening to hear of all of the flooding and wind damage. (Even more frightening if you are blind, deaf or incapacitated as so many of your great guys are.) Thanks for letting us know.

So glad to hear - thank you for taking the trouble to post from the library! The news we've heard out West for your area is just so bad - and sad. So, it is good to hear you and all are doing fine!

Talk about loyalty to your supporters and blog readers. Thanks for the effort to get the word out to us that all is well. I personally don't have any other family and friends in the NE, so when I hear of wild weather there, you are the folks I think about. We appreciate your effort to put our mind at ease.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for letting us know you are all o.k. Now I can put our Atlas away. Every time they mentioned a city in your area I checked to see how close it was to you. Candace and I are coming your way in October for a brief vacation. Give all the critters our love.

Thank Heavens you all escaped unharmed!! I've been watching all the destruction next to you in Vermont. So very sad. I hope Dog Mountain in Vermont is okay. XOXO to all involved.

Thanks for the quick update, Steve! Have been worrying about you & the animals all weekend! Glad all is well. :-)

Hallelujah!!! Thanks SO MUCH for letting us know you're okay. I watched the national weather news all weekend and they never seemed to mention New Hampshire. Stay dry!

Thanks for letting us know you all came thru ok. As the storm progressed, I checked periodically to see if there was word. It's a funny thing to feel such a bond w/people I've never met, but you and your 4-footed kids are in my thoughts every day.
Posted by: Janet | August 29, 2011 at 01:45 PM
Oh what a relief it is !!!! SO glad everyone is fine. They will have you back online in no time too. We were worried about you and sending prayers for safety your way. Glad all are ok.
