Well! Earl was a bust. Extent of damage ... 5 hours without power and 3 branches broken on a maple tree! 

It was a Category 1 when it made landfall ... but fizzled off pretty quickly when it hit the cold waters of the Scotian Shelf. 

At the peek of the storm they had 200,000+ homes without power. We were lucky to get it back so quickly. 

I guess when you've lived through Hurricane Juan (2003) anything less is a walk through the park!!  It took some area up to 7 days to get power restored back then!

 It was 20 years ago today that I had exploratory surgery that confirmed the devastating news that I had cancer. 

I woke up in post-op to the surgeon telling me I had a tumour. Must have been the drugs because I had no idea he was trying to break it to me gently that he had taken a lump of cancer out of my body.
