Welcome back everyone! Hope your time off was fun, Marsha.
We survived the first week of school. No issues at all. Thankful for that and hopeful it stays that way.
We went to the lake Friday after school, for our last weekend hurrah. Had a good time. Brandon and family came out Sunday and spent the day there with us. Marti took some pictures of Evan, for senior pics. She took some great ones!
We got home in the nick of time Sunday evening. About 30 minutes before a terrible storm moved in. We have hail damage to the north side of the house. Holes in the siding, the deck and door facings look sandblasted. We think the roof is ok but Scott is going to get up there and look it over. Vehicles are ok. (Which is weird!) Trees and flowers shredded. No leaves left at all on the new maple tree and my plum tree looks pitiful. Aspen tree lost half its leaves. The hail was small, but it was being driven by 71 mph winds. Took down mature trees all over town. Blew over sheds, fences, campers, trailers, billboards, road signs, a HUGE flagpole, snapped it like a twig...even blew a full sized Jeep out of the Dodge dealership just down the road from us. Pushed it down the highway as if it was being driven (on the wrong side though!) before it hit a retaining wall and flipped over on its side. Crazy!!! No one was hurt, thankfully. All the damage all over town and no injuries. Amazing. We are so thankful we were not still on our way home, pulling the camper when it hit. So thankful.
That was major storm #3. First time we have gotten any damage, at our house. Insurance companies are behind, so it will be 4-8 weeks before we even get an insurance adjuster here to look at our house.
Anyway, eventful week around here! Could have done without the storm, but everything else was good.
Have a great day. Big hugs and positive vibes to all!
Sorry about the house stuff, that's always a drag dealing with people coming to your house to install or fix something. Hopefully it can move a little quicker than that 4 to 8 weeks.
