We lost power a few hours on Sunday during the Hurricane and we went over Mommy's Sister and Brother-in-law's house -- that's where Mommy's niece and nephew live. They only live a couple of blocks from us -- but they had power and we didn't -- go figure?
Anyway -- we have a lake at the end of the block. The lake overflowed onto the grass area and streets. Thank goodness our house and Mommy's sister's house weren't affected by the lake overflowing.
Things I liked about Mommy's niece and nephew's house...
1) They have lots of toys! I got to meet Bowser the Stuffed Animal dog. He has his own doggy bed and his own doggy toys. I was jealous. At one point I tried to sit in Bowser's bed -- but it was way too small for me.
2) They have fans on their ceiling that go round and round -- it was most interesting to look at.
3) Wii -- It was so much fun! I seem to be a natural at video games! Mommy's niece even created a character for me in the "Wii" too bad they didn't have any dog characters for me to choose from for my profile. I picked the human boy wearing a baseball cap since there were no dogs in the menu.
4) Their yard has a fence all the way around the house front and back. My house only has a fence in the yard in the back. I liked to go in a circle all the way around their house! Especially when I decided to water their bushes and plants all over the yard. (They don't have any pets -- so I had to make sure I marked all of their bushes in the yard for them! It's hard work - but I know they will thank me later for marking their territory!)
5) Mommy's niece has a nice "BED spread" on her bed in her room, but I thought she said come see my "BREAD spread". So, when I went into her room I was expecting to taste some yummy bread with some margarine spread on top -- but all I saw was the flower quilt on the bed. I guess I was just so excited to see her room and my tummy just did the thinking for me!

Here is a REALLY short video from my day. I can't believe Mommy didn't put new batteries in the camera. She remembered to put batteries in the flash light and radio -- and forgot to check on the batteries in the camera. Nice going Mommy!

We are glad you had a safe place to go wait out the storm. Our town still has lots of people without power so we are grateful the lights are back on and the basement is not still a swimming pool.
ReplyDeleteWe had lots of work to do providing security for the cleanup efforts.
I think I need to get a wii now! I LOVE skee ball, and you were good at it!
ReplyDeleteI hope your water has started to recede. The hudson and mohawk rivers up here finally are starting to go down. I think the day after the hurricane was worse than the day it hit. The water just kept rising and rising! Now,people can get started with the massive clean up.
Spooky to have the lake front property so close to the house. I think having a fence around the front AND the back is a grand idea. Yes, doing pee all around the house is quite important for border protection.

Wow, that's some scary stuff. Glad you are okay and hope the cleanup goes smoothly.

I'm glad you got through the big storm okay. It was great to have somewhere to go when the power went out. A yard with a fence all the way around would be so much fun. Penny has a house like yours, with a fence only in the back yard.
