Our roof has been repaired and as of last night we have electricity and I am planning to go home Monday.

In a way I dread it because I will be going to a big mess including three huge up-rootoed pine trees that will have to be removed. The pines "took out" a holly tree, dogwood trees , mail box, and gas light.

When I went home last Friday, it was a weird sight with tree trunks and limbs lining the streets and only paths to drive through. There were still many up-rooted trees in yards all over town. It will be a looooong time before things look "normal" again. We have enough trees left standing to do it all over again. In addition to 100 MPH wind for 4 or 5 hours, there were 27 tornados in the storm.

But I want to go home.

Afternoon! I am so happy to hear you get to go home in a couple of days. Please don't work too hard trying to get things cleaned up when you get back. Know that you are anxious to be home again and get started with the cleanup, but hope you don't overdo it and make yourself sick.

"But I want to go home."

lonestar, I am so happy that you will be going home tomorrow...yep "there's no place like home"

Temple Owl, how is Ink doing?

Hope you are all having a nice weekend. Rainy October in my neck of the woods, was nice to see the sun shine today. Cool, crisp, autumn day....watching lots of football :-)

Prayers for all those in the path of Hurricane Wilma

Wishing you all a happy and blessed Sunday
