I Have To Make This Quick

Hi, Primmies, we are at my daughter and son-in-law's house. We had a foot of snow and it brought down two oak trees over 100 years old. One fell across the street and pull down the power lines
and poles. The second one fell on our house, crushed our roof in, broke windows and the car
got smashed by the top that cracked in half over the house. We have a tree in our upstairs bedroom.
They say no power for two weeks, Athol is one of the worst areas in MA. Most towns don't have
power. Even if it comes on, our chiminey is sheard off and the flues are broken. So, the house is
47 degrees and I'm taking a break over here. The Boston Globe was out today taking pictures and
interviewing us. Tricia at Hillcrest Home Primitives can get a copy! Oh, it's so bad. I was sleeping
at 4:00 a.m. and the sound was horrendous. I put my hands over my head and screamed!
Gotta go, generator has to be turned off for the night. I don't know when I'll get a chance to be on
again. I have to go home and there's no power the cable and phone lines got taken down with our
tree accident.
Stay Safe, Primmies

GIVEAWAY REMINDERS AND IT'S REALLY,REALLY SNOWING HERE

Hi, Primmies, it's snowing really good here. There's about 6
or 8 inches on the ground so far and expected snowfall
amount is 10-14 inches. Woo Hoo! There's only one problem, the power lines are swaying the lights are going
off and on. The oak trees still have leaves and the snow is
kind of wet and heavy and that's not good. It's been snow-
ing all day long, it hasn't let up. I tried to snap a few
pictures but they're kind of dark. Maybe I'll try to see how
they look uploaded.
The adorable Santa Hat Tucks are from Pat at Ahl Cooped Up. She is giving away three of these to a lucky winner.
The rules are simple and you have until November 5th.
Enter HERE.
I just also wanted to remind you to look over the right side
blog sidebar for all of the giveaways going on right now.
There are quite a few going on until Oct. 31st. Then more
going on in November and December.
I've got a little chicken in the oven roasting. I'll need to go
and baste her and hope that the power stays on to finish up the supper meal.
Take care, everyone.
