I must say, Hair...the ice storm you experienced really made us get our act together, didn't it? Except for a typo in g'nad's phone number, it went flawlessly this time. We were ready...prepared...watching out for each other.
Seeing you bundled up in those coats with the generator made me proud...you were prepared and able to take care of yourself and that impresses me. Being able to take care of themselves is a rare quality in people these days, it sometimes seems to me.
And the fact is, you not only could take care of yourselves, but also a slew of animals and a next-door-neighbor as well!
Which is why my mind knew all along that the G'nads would be OK. The type of family they are, and the kind of community they live in...I just knew they'd be all right.
But I'm glad I got through to their vet for two reasons. 1) I was able to verify what I already knew...they were ok and 2) I was able to let them know that the Hobbit Hole was thinking about them.
In four days, we'll have known each other for five years...
You got it! Though ours was wind, not ice, the results the next day seem to look about the same, broken trees and downed lines. I think we're all more ready now because of it. Which means, of course, it'll be clear sailing from here on out.
