A skywatch photo!
What you can see of our house before the power line broke.
One of the pecan trees Mom and Dad planted when they got married.
Thank you all for worrying, checking and praying for us.
This has been an experience that I can talk about for hours but will try not to talk that long.
We finally got power today after eight long dark days. There are many more thousands without power that may not have it restored until March.
Utility poles have snapped like toothpicks. Trees that survived the tornado last spring have now been splintered. It is a whole new landscape.
We survived. No one is hurt and no building bit the dust except for Beverly's shed. Marcy had the fireplace and cooked on it. We had propane and candles and a camp stove. And of course we are in a wonderful spring fed valley and I know how to haul water in a bucket.
I do know now why I have a washer and dryer since my trip to the laundry mat. Hope I do not have to do that again for another thirty years!
I crossed my fingers when I booted up the computer. I was on when our line broke. After a few adjustments everything seems to be working.
The most wonderful thing is getting back to y'all. I missed hearing about your adventures everyday. I am also doubly blessed since you did notice I was missing.
