the year Halloween got eaten by Christmas

So we've been weathering, the weather.  A surprise snowstorm blanketed the Northeast, and since our trees still had leaves, they held most of the snow - and snapped the branches...We still have no power, or phone, or cable/internet.  Keeping a fire burning in the fireplace, and spending dinners in the RV.  We've been stacking branches, and getting the camper out to refill the gas tank today.  D.  and N. have no school until Friday - and my new job has been without power as well.
