Oh, my dear, dear, dear EXers!! As you know, I was supposed to host the EXmas Party & Virtual Gift Exchange yesterday. As some of you know, I'm currently out on Cape Meares, OR, which is a small unincorporated vacation community on the Oregon coast. For the past 2 days, we have had torrential rains and flooding in some areas. Yesterday, our internet went out completely. I got in the car with the intention of driving into the nearest town (Tillamook) and finding an internet connection there. But the road that goes inland from Cape Meares is a narrow 2-lane road, with the Tillamook Bay on one side and sheer cliffs and ravines on the other. The road was flooded in some places, but I managed to get several miles. But as is common here in periods of very wet weather, the road was blocked by a rock side. The road was completely blocked by mud, rocks and trees that had washed down one of the ravines. I couldn't do anything but turn around and go home. I was frantic, as I had promised Owl that I would hostess this party. The county trucks cleared the slide enough this morning for one-lane traffic. So I am now in Tillamook where I found internet access in a pancake house.
I feel so terrible. As soon as I got online I came here to blog. I can see that I have 9 things in my Inbox, but I didn't want to open anything until I had come here to apologize. I'm really hoping that somebody picked up the ball and started the party...
😞 😞 😞 😞 😞 (But I didn't smoke over it! Day 86)
xxxooo, (please forgive me; I did TRY!)
