hurricane recovery

With Puerto Rico getting blasted, I feel Narcissistic worrying about my little troubles. Islands are so vulnerable because if hit full on, devastation can be total. Our renters have been down to Big Pine and 2061, the big house" had ceiling damage that indicated more than "just a few roof panels torn". The next day our next door neighbor’s friend texted that he has a "dry in, mold clean up, roofer business" and he will dry us in today. So he is at it probably as we speak. We sent him over to 1963 "Aunt Trudy’s house" as our renter reported the back wall has buckled and windows don’t close … Sand and grit got in. So send the roofer guy over there too. Meanwhile we have friends who are looking for contracting work going down to work on electric connections to house and other issues roofer guy doesn’t handle. Meanwhile we are in the final packing mode to go on New England cruise starting tomorrow. I tried to cancel but it’s too late and we would lose full price paid… Throwing away $4500 just doesn’t fit into our world view. Besides there’s no room at my house! I have Keys friends and renters in 2 rooms and friend Karen Skipp in third room while she works temporarily in Miami. So, there’s no room at Chez Peabody "the Lake house" for the Peabodys. Hope the Keys electric and water sewer issues are resolved before we get home October 10. God bless you!;
