Thank goodness that is over with - we faired quite well and were very lucky. The electric went off and on a few times but stayed on! The orange cords are all wrapped up and put "out of service" for (hopefully) a long, long time! It is still quite windy here and the sky is very eerie looking
I was going to open the store today and then I wasn't and then I was....well I didn't - listening to the news there are so many creeks and streams that overflowed and closed roads I just didn't want to get caught in that. Right on Route 100 (the main road to the store) there is a stream going through farmland and it always floods the road so I thought it better to stay home.
Tony went out at 6 am to help our son (owns Fast-Pro Restoration)...he does the water clean-up and he had over 50 calls with basements flooding. What a mess- crews will be out all night it seems!
I wanted to get pics of all the wonderful goodies the girls made to share with you - I plan on going to the store tomorrow (clean, price, decorate) so I will take some pictures! It is "Back to School" for all my grands tomorrow (and my daughter) - they are excited to start the new school year. Football (3 play) Soccer (2 play) Cheerleading (2 cheer) - going to be a very busy fall !! (can't wait) !!!
2 Kindred friends:
Glad you fared so well! Wonder if you would have gone to the store if anyone was out shopping today?
Mother Nature has a fierce voice at times, glad things are OK with you. I live only 30 minutes from Joplin, Mo where a devastating tornado struck this past May. I know very well how upsetting Mother Nature can be.
Enjoy your blog and all your store pics.
