Looks a lot like yesterday's photo, but no one has an umbrella today.
Above picture is the view from my apartment. We had lots of rain and some wind. I was beginning to think our neighborhood was totally untouched, but one of my neighbors suggested I walk one block to Riverside Park, which is on the Hudson River. The sight was not as pristine.
My friends in Brooklyn weathered the storm well, but my cousins in Connecticut have lost power and some trees on their street. Heard from them via cellphone to facebook. The joys of the modern world.
Thanks all, for your prayers and concern. I am grateful that Irene was gentle in New York City, but I am so sad for the destruction and death in other places. I hope that all my buddies in Blogland and their families were unscathed.
I am now in major preparation for tomorrow's surgery. I'm off to the hospital at 7:30 tomorrow morning and anticipate being home some time in the evening. My friend, Pene, will go with me and pick me up. I'm optimistic all will go well, but will be so grateful when it's over and I am happily back at home.
Prayers and wishes for a quiet week in Buttercupland and the surrounding environs.

Glad to hear the worst is over! I have been thinking of you!!
Oh my friend, I am happy that you are safe and without damage! I have watched Fox News looking for all of my friends in blogland's homes, hoping that they were safe!
I will be praying for you that the surgery is a success and that recovery will be quick and pain free!

Praise God that your surgery is still on schedule. I am thankful you have someone to transport you. Just remember NOT to overdo while recovering. Rest a lot & drink a lot but also get up and walk a bit when you feel like it.
My prayers for a swift and uncomplicated recovery, too!
I'm glad you weathered the storm. My prayers and thoughts will be with you during surgery. Hoping you have a speedy recovery once you're back home. Take care.

Dear Buttercup,
I have been worried about you. I am so glad that the storm was not as bad in your area as they thought it would be. I have been watching the weather channel and hoping all was well with you.
I will be praying for you tomorrow. Having just gone through this surgery, I know that it is not fun but hopefully all will go well as it did with me. Please post and let us know how you are as soon as you can. We will all be holding our breath until we hear from you.
Good luck dear friend. Many hugs, Lura
p.s. I am glad that you had such a good time at Tom's wedding.
Thankful you survived the "friend" called Irene. I think me, here in NC, fared way better then my family and friends in NY.
Thinking of you, hope you are home safe and sound after your surgery. My prayers for NY were answered, now want my prayers for you answered:)
Love and Big Hugs
