It is a good thing that plans were changed, Joan!! This weekend would have been terrible!!! But we made it!!! And thank you all for your concern. I was able to reach Sandra by cell phone on Friday, just to let her know I was ok, but out of touch. We lost phone service and electricity on Wednesday night, and got both back late on Friday. Thankfully, with our new house, we had a gas water heater, gas stove and our fireplace, so we all huddled and kept warm. You should have seen the pile of dogs and humans in front of the fireplace! It was great!!! Of course, I didn't get any pictures!!

The wedding plans are proceeding beautifully ( I hope ), and in 13 days, almost 12 at this late hour, we will be married. The kids are happyy ( which makes us happy) and so are we. We got a full blast of "blended" family time this past weekend since my power came back before Scott's did. They camped out here, and even when the power came back on, they chose to sleep in front of the fire. Helen just went back to her own bed tonight.

Things are good, but busy, obviously. But the downed trees have been cut up by the new chain saw (manly thing, but a good tool to have), and we are doing final fittings for dresses this week. We will have a wedding and be one, big happy family in short order!!

Thanks for the concern. I'm off to crawl into my now warm bed. Will continue to check in, as often as possible, over the next two weeks.

Love,
Logan
