Just a note to say thank you for all the prayers and messages.  We were hit Wednesday morning,  April 27, with 200 mile an hour straight line winds.

The tornado that did so much damage in AL hit that night and we did not get hit again.  We lost 19 trees, sustained roof damage to the house, have a "sky light" in my art room and lost the corner of that room, had 4 trees hit the garage sustaining roof damage and 2 roof trusses, the back end of our Honda was sliced off like a piece of bread.

We got electricity back on Friday and the phone lines we got back yesterday.

What a real scare!  We could not even get our front door because there was a BIG tree right there on the front door.  The church sent 30 men to help us remove the trees.  They worked over 8 hours and got  most of the debree to the street.  Our neighbor brought his landscaping equipment down and took out the root balls.  We can put a small car in one of the holes.  The insurance adjusters have been here so now we wait to see what all they will cover.  Again thanks for your concern and prayers.  We thank the Lord for His protection.  We were not hurt and our damage is minimal.  So many are in real trouble and lost everything.  The sorties are hart breaking but there are also many hart warming stories!!  We live in a wonderful country.

 

Love and thanks,
