In The Clear
Hurricane Irma passed by to the west of us here in SE Florida, and 
we all feel lucky that we did not receive a direct hit...we dodged a bullet! We did get some damage and will have power outages for up to a week. Our power was restored yesterday. It was out for four days. Our weather temperature has been in the low 90's. Unfortunately, those in the Florida Keys and also on the west coast of Florida were hit hard! It will be months and years of re-building in those areas. 

Thank you my friends, for your concern with all of us here in Florida. Now it's time for us to clean up, re-build and move on. We've done it before and now we will do it again. It's the price we pay for living in our warm-climated paradise. Thanks again for reaching out to us during our darkest days of uncertainty, but for now...we're in the clear.
