While Hurricane Sandy moved inland and rocked our neighborhood, we stayed safely indoors and made cookies. We shelled enough walnuts for a batch (with a little extra) and added them to chocolate chip dough.
After cleaning up the yard, bottling tap water and filling the freezers with ice in preparation we hunkered down to wait out the storm. Some of the things we did to pass the time and not focus on the blowing wind and pelting rain (in between weather news updates):
- board games, Monopoly and Catan Jr.
- clarinet
- bagpipe
- bongo
- guitar
- shell black walnuts
- read The Magic Tree House
- watch the movies "Babe" and "How to Train Your Dragon"
We all made it through the storm in one piece. There was no structural damage or flooding, the power and water stayed on - though internet was lost for a while - but all in all we were very lucky. Plus we had great cookies and lots of time together.
