My scaredy cat self heads to the storm shelter. A couple of nights we have spent a while in the storm shelter. We were out of power from 7 pm until 2:15 am Saturday night/Sunday morning and from 7:30 or 8 pm until 11:38 pm last night. There isn't much one can do in the dark. I guess that's why people went to bed in the old days at dark and got up at daybreak.
Power install update:
Garry has been on the phone with ADECA and no they won't approve the overhead lines at the corner of the park, even though there are overhead lines everywhere right there.
So, plan #2: cut the trees on my side of the road on the power companies right of way another 150 feet. We like 8 trees having all that finished. If it stops raining any time soon. All 8 of the trees will fall across the road so we will have to stop traffic at both ends each time a tree is cut so 1) no one will get killed, :) and 2) so they can drag the tree out of the road. Maybe by this time next week we will have a little power. But I'm not holding my breath!!
As for my storage building, I don't know if it will make it through all this rain or not. It has a roof but so far it hasn't rained straight down but sideways from the wind, so not sure that roof is doing a lot of good keeping the floor dry. :(. I know we aren't the only ones with this problem. Garry's uncle is building 8 miles down the road. He has walls but no roof yet. And you know, you have to let that wood dry out before you finish or it will cause mold and mildew. So there is another UGH!!
On to my grand babies.
I spent 5 hours with them Thursday night. Took some newborn portraits of Klaire. My little man Karson had to get in on the picture taking too. He is so funny. I will post some of the photos when I get them finished. Anyway, I got my loving and hugs fix from all 4 of them. There is nothing better than love and hugs from your grand babies!
On Friday, Johnny, Cody, Annette, and I made the trip to Nashville. Can't say much about that except that Johnny and Cody were so nervous and drawn up on interstate 65 that you couldn't have stuck a toothpick up their tail. It was funny. What wasn't funny was our lead car, that we met in Columbia, ran off and left us as soon as we hit 65. Now I don't mind going a little over the speed limit but I'm not driving like an idiot, especially in someone else's vehicle; and that was the first time I had ever driven Johnny's truck. Needless to say Johnny won't be going back to Nashville anytime in the near future. Ha! Ha! I brought them back the scenic route; through Leiper's Fork and down the Natchez Trace. I just didn't think either one of them could handle 65 twice in the same day.
That's all for now...
Got Things To Do :)
