Act of God

Well, in the previous post you may have seen my new flower garden that I spent many hours toiling over. During the night, we had a terrible storm. I could hear the wind and rain pounding against my bedroom window, so I went to sleep in the guest room for fear that a tree might fall on me. When I opened the living room curtains in the morning, this is what I saw:




Actually, these pics were taken from the road, but you get the idea. Lots of trees and power lines down today. Feel like after a tornado in KS. I cancelled my visits and am hoping they'll call this an "Act of God" day so I can still get paid. You'd be surprised how much it costs to get a tree removed when it's already on the ground.

Been Too Busy To Blog

Looks like it's been ages since I posted here. I finally have high-speed internet again so maybe I'll be a better blogger. I've also been busy buying a house.


It ended up needing much more work than I really anticipated, but it is almost in order now. My parents, brother, sister-in-law, nieces, and one cousin came to work on the house over Memorial Day weekend and for the next week while I went to work to pay for everything. My coworkers came to help me move in. I really couldn't have done this without all the help. I'm so grateful to everyone!



My Mom sewed curtains for all of the rooms.
