Hometown Favorites

Weathering The Storm

Happy Monday!  Yes, unfortunately Hurricane Sandy is trying to put a damper on this one for all of us on the east coast.  So most of us are stuck indoors, the sky is gloomy looking, it’s raining nonstop and my beautiful tree outback has lost most of its colorful leaves.  Schools are closed as well as all the malls and stores surrounding our area.  But it’s not all that bad; this is when I think of one of my favorite quotes….
