Still without power but doing ok!

Hello everyone!

I am writing from a friend's computer because it is 6pm on Saturday 18th Sep and we still do not have power at our house. We have not had power since Hurricane Ivan hit on Thursday morning. Hurricane Ivan was not as bad as expected, well at least in our area, and the only damage suffered was a long pine tree that fell down along the length of our driveway, which the realtor is due to come and chop up one of these days. There are branches and leaves everywhere though so we spent Friday clearing our driveway and yard up and trying to conserve as much of our fridge energy as possible! The most amazing thing is that we have been able to put to use some Australian appliances that accidently got packed as part of our household goods from Australia! The Lord works in mysterious ways, I tell you because Zev dug out the "Tiger" generator that I bought him in the Middle East and was able to do some creative electical work to get it fired up so we could plug in our Australian made lamp and have some light and listen to the radio on our Australian made radio! Today I bought five bags of ice and we stuck that in our fridge, and we are praying to have power by tomorrow. We are so grateful that we were not as badly affected by the hurricane like the people further south in places like Mobile were. Anyway we hope that you are all well too and we thank you for your calls and emails to check to see that we were ok during the hurricane. We will send pictures as soon as our power is back up!

Love The Yorks.
