I have been missing in action since Wednesday, October 24, the day Hurricane Sandy made landfall in Jamaica. My parish, St. Mary, was among the hardest hit areas. I have experienced storms and hurricanes including some above category 1 but this one was terrible. In my area we had to endure almost 12 hours of strong winds and rain. It did damage to our home and I got back electricity late yesterday, my birthday! A wonderful birthday gift! Sandy also resulted in loss of life and damage in other countries. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who were affected in Jamaica, the U.S.A., Cuba, Bahamas, Haiti etc.
Well, I had a quiet yet enjoyable birthday with my family. Here are pictures of my birthday lunch.
