Family & Friends - We are
gathering supplies/donations to get to the Rockaways (this is the town in
Queens that more than 100 homes have been lost from the fire & more due to
flooding). Temps are dropping & there are still so many without power.
There is a gentleman in Cornwall that has family in the Rockaways & they
are in desperate need. There are several families from Cornwall that will be heading down next weekend. The supplies are - socks, gloves,
coats, hats, hand sanitizer, trash bags, water, toiletries, soup with the pop
top openers and other non-perishable food. If you feel you'd like to help
please let me know. I will be gathering supplies to get to the families. If you
live too far away & you want to send money, I will be happy to go shopping
to pick up the items needed. I will provide to you a receipt with the items I
purchased. We had an outpouring support & we'd really like to give back!!
I had a whole other blog that I was going to post yesterday
but I felt the devastation post was far more important!!! So instead I will just summarize…it has been
a busy weekend from soccer to fashion shows back to soccer. Our cousin Sam played in the Semi-Finals on Thursday. The Cornwall Dragons girls soccer moved on to
play Red Hook in the Section 9 Finals.
Go Dragons!!! Sammy we are so
proud of you….she is only a freshman & showing her true athletic ability. The Dragons WON!!! They beat Red Hook 2-0! Great job ladies….

After the show we headed back to the house to pick daddy up from doing clean-up work. The windows are all in. I think I almost cried today…almost. It just looked amazing!! The doors will be picked up by our painter to be stained.

And, then this sweet little cart. It had some big cracks so I filled them with wood filler & will redo this piece..just not sure what I want to do with it. Please don't mind the mess in the back...this is in our basement.
Our lives have returned to a place I didn’t think we would
be in this quickly. It is by the love,
support & constant uplifting from family & friends. We have also had a tremendous support team in
rebuilding our home. Our situation has
brought new people into our lives that are now friends. I am so very thankful
for what we have in life – we are so rich with love, friends, family &
support!
