A message from Julie:
We just wanted to let you know we came out of Hurricane Irene in one piece, with less damage than expected. A lot of high winds, rain and branches all over the place, but it was sunny this morning. The nervousness is over, I did some cleanup today, but we did lose power around 4 a.m. and didn't get it back until just this afternoon.
You can see here where one of the paper birches fell into a squirrel's nest. Many of our trees are old, especially the birches, toppling over during storms.
Leaf clusters were falling like snowflakes in the high wind. I guess we'll begin raking early, green leaves scattered around instead of the usual brown in the fall. That's a "to do" for tomorrow.
And Tom, what was he up to? Well, the final manuscript had to be sent off yesterday, hurricane or no hurricane and Tom was making sure I kept my place for last-minute changes. Each of those paper clips represents an edit. There were about thirty of them! What a big help he was!

WE are so glad you are all right. Hurricanes are the scariest. But glad you came out without a lot of damage and got your electric back in not too long. Tom, good boy for helping Mom with the book. Take care.
HURRAH!!!
We have heard from almost everybody now.
Tom, you are a wicked taskmaster, that's for sure.
We're very glad to read you made it through Irene unscathed, except for loss of power and trees.
Tom, you are such an excellent assistant that our human would like to borrow you for her work!
Glad you are ok! Looks like Tom is sleeping on the job. Purrs.

Thank God Irene was not all she advertised to be as that was truly scary. Tom you are a wonderful worker to keep up with work even with the hurricane.
We are so glad you guys are okay. And good for Tom helping like that. We are sure he got extra treats for all his hard work and effort.
(((hugs)))
So happy you are all OK!
Your pal, Pip
Whew - we were so worried too. Little bit by little bit we are slowly starting to hear from our pals that live out East. What a horrible storm. So glad a big tree didn't come down on your house either.
I am glad you came through Irene without too much damage or electrical downtime! I am SO looking forward to your book!
We're glad your okay!! We hope the cleanup isn't too bad. At least Tom is working hard helping!

We're relieved to hear you are ok.
How long is the manuscript? It must be such a good feeling to be so close to the finish. Good work, Tom, on lending a paw!
Hurray you are all safe! Tom, ask your Mum to bring in some of those fallen leaves for you to play with, they are really good fun. We bet those paperclips would be fun to play with too Tom, but we know you are such a good chap and would never do such a thing

Sage & I are so glad you are all OK! I bet there were a LOT of mud-puddles Sage could play in, although the reason for them wasn't so great. We are looking forward to the book's publication!
Sage & her Mom
So glad you are all safe after the terrible Irene!
happy news you are all well and got the manuscript edit complete thanks for Father Tom's assistance I see.
I am SO happy that all is well ultimately and no surprise that Tom was so helpful. He looks so kissable guarding the manuscript. xxoo
We are glad you are okay, dear friends! That was some storm, wasn't it?
Tom -- great job helping with that manuscript!
