We do too, that's how he knows! : )
Karen, Queen of Squishies Just in case you don't understand the part about 50# of flour, I would have forgotten that one and it certainly must be considered. I keep flour, corn meal, grits, oats, cake flour, special stone ground meal, and all sorts of grain things in our freezer. Haven't found a critter yet that could heave the freezer door open and establish residence. Polly |

'Course my only freezer is the little one attached to the 'fridge so I can't spare the space, but someday I'll have a chest freezer and it's a good thing to know about.

Thanks for letting us know. while it sounds like a lot, like you say,
you were lucky compared to others. no flooding and all. I think you have the right attitude and the best of luck with the repairs so you can live in a comfortable home again soon. Kate T. wrote: Hey Everyone: After 38 days away from home because of the hurricanes I am finally back on line. I now have electricity, phone and water. I arrived home last Sunday and couldn't get the electric on till Tuesday. I had to live in my van. Thank goodness for the cool front that came through. Now I can open the windows and doors to get rid of the "Stink". Needless to say with no electicity my refrigerator and freezer are a total loss. When I got in the house I saw the appliances "oozing". The insurance adjuster backed out the door in a hurry. I gave him a mask and gloves so he could inspect the damage. My ceiling in one of the bedrooms is coming loose. The wind pushed it down and loosened the nails. The furnace and A/C doesn't work. My roof had a small amount of damage as did the windows. My shed, well a one car garage, is a total loss. An oak tree took it out. I have a total of 10 trees down and the fence is a wreck. I am one of the lucky ones in the neighborhood. My neighbor across the street and at the end of the block lost her home. Six trees fell on it. She had two contractors look at it and they said it had to be bulldozed and a new one built. The insurance adjuster (Allstate) said all it needs was a roof and the walls painted. The house leans badly. She is living in a small FEMA trailer with the rest of the family. I didn't lose my stash and am so happy. My Hinterberg frame will be up in the next couple weeks so I get back to quilting. I have to put my home back together before I can think of quilting but that won't be long. I am so grateful to be back home, back on line and catching up on quilting news. Thanks for being here.
