We are on the north shore of Long Island which is easier. The south shore is right there facing the Atlantic Ocean so it gets hit hard. They have nice beaches. Good surfing. Looking forward to power coming back. That's really a pain. Payton is worried about Halloween today.

This huge limb fell from an oak tree at Gibson Ranch. This is where Mimi's Gary often works.

To get a take on the size of the limb see how big it is compared to Gary's truck. Thanks Mimi for the pictures. Our couple now has a year's worth of good firewood.

Hi Dad,

 Brendan at work. I hope you post homecoming picture of him and his date.
Paddy had a good game last night.  He made a few touchdowns and made some awesome passes.  He was on the TV  for Friday football highlights.  

Catholic won 41 to 0.
After the game the bus takes the team back to 

Catholic and they ring the church bell.  You could hear the bus from a mile away the team was so excited.

 Love, Jeanni
