Adventures with an Only Child

Ike in KY?

Well, not exactly, but we had VERY high winds for about 3 hours yesterday that blew over many trees and power lines, as well as blew some shingle off a few roofs.  Our power was out from about 2 pm Sunday until 10 am Monday.  Many more people are still without power and because of the widespread damage (not to mention the fact that 6 of our crews were sent to Houston to help with that damage), they are estimating that it may be a week before all power is back on.  All this and we aren't even in the main hurricane path (and we also had no rain with the winds).  I can't even imagine those poor people in Texas.


Having no power all yesterday and night definitly has it's drawbacks, but it also made us think about how much we depend on electricity and made us use our imaginations for things to do.  One of the fun things was listening to Samuel tell stories.  They made no sense, but definitely showed his creativity.


My prayers go out to all those still without power or other damage to property or person.

Wow...you had it worse than us even. All we got was a little rain and wind and cooler temps.
