In the last 9 days...

My life in the last 9 days:

--pack for a family reunion in North Carolina
--write and schedule the July 2 post for SP&P
--leave for the family reunion
--witness a tornado on the way to North Carolina
--cower in a Pizza Hut bathroom waiting for the storm to pass
--receive a phone call from a neighbor saying we have major tree limbs down in our yard
--gasp when I receive pictures of tree damage
--arrive to North Carolina, trying to take deep breaths to recover from events of the trip
--enjoy a nice visit in the mountains of North Carolina
--return home from North Carolina to discover my family and friends have cleaned up our storm damage
--sniff some foul smells coming our rotten food
--discover my inner Pioneer as I live life without power
--hunker down in our basement, trying to sleep in the coolness, since the temperatures here have been hovering around 100 degrees.
--swell with gratitude from all the generous offers of help from neighbors and family
--celebrate the 4th of July
--rejoice greatly when our power returns on the 5th of July
--resist feeling grumpy about our phone, internet and cable not returning
--pray for those who still do not have power from the storm, now 8 days ago
--smile when I win "Runner Up" in the Market District Burger Contest earlier today for this recipe.
--park myself at the local library to do some writing.

Phew.

Back soon with some yummy recipes and stories, but for now, I am recovering from an eventful 9 days.

Life is sweet,
SPC

Goodness! I moved to Jersey last year from the South and I don't miss the tornados! Glad you are okay. Just found your blog. Glad to find a healthy Mommy blog. I am starting a challenge on mine to be healthier. Those popsicles for the fourth just might make it on my to-do list for the summer! :)

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
