After the Storm

Posted on September 17th, 2007 by SusieJ

You know those little plastic patches they give you with inflatable toys? Well, they do work. The trampoline was thrown 300 feet (the wind broke the rope that was attached to the anchor), up the hill, two houses down, where it knocked over a clothes line. This put a big puncture hole right through the middle. The patch kit worked:

The tree fell, missing the guest house by inches:

Like all of you, I am overwhelmed and am currently working on a plan to eliminate all need for sleep so that I will have enough hours in the day. I'll let you know as soon as I have all the kinks worked out. I treasure your comments and emails. I do read them all.

    Uh! That’s a proper storm. Glad your family are ok. And I hope your cabin doesn’t smell of eau do skunk.

    Looks like a lot of wood to chop there.
    Are those 2 frogs? They love frogs!

    hope your home and family were all OK. You are going to have lots of fabulous fires, huh? I love fires!

    I loved the beautiful photo of your boys on the water trampoline in your link. I missed that story.

    Glad the storm damage was fixable.

    It made for a heap of work, but thank goodness things were okay. I love the frogs.
