RE: It's never dull in burg, at least not lately

[Guest guest]

Judy, thanks for sharing this story. It's so easy to focus on the negative things that happen & totally ignore the positive. I've probably griped 50 times for catching a train compared to once for just missing it! Human nature, I guess, but it's nice that you can take comfort & pleasure in the unexpected benefit of this storm.

We decided to go to the grocery store this evening about 7:00PM. The sky looked like it was going to rain. It was a little windy and a few drops of rain were starting to fall. My sugar cube husband wae telling me to hurry up getting out of the car. He hates to get wet when it rains.We got into the store and I scootered around the store picking up things from our list. The lights flickered a couple of times while we were in the store, figured it was from the rainstorm. We left the store and were on our merryway home. About one half way up our street which is a mountain road we saw some red flares in the street, I wondered why they were in the street. We then saw very quickly why they were there.If you recall we live on a road that is between two mountains. The road is one lane up and one lane down. Pretty rustic and it is ever so pretty. Especially when it snows.Well low and behold as we rounded the bend in the road before our house there was this treeing with a trunk about 1 1/2ft in circumfrence laying accross the road with electrical wires all around us,It was pitch black so we couldn't see if our home had been hit, Most of the trees are from 15 to 20 stories high. A few years ago we had 7 removed because of being so close to the house, like 3 feet away.Well we called 911 and reported everything, then called my son Joe who told bob to bring me to his nouse then they could access the damage to our property, Well God was good again, the house was spared.Unfortunaly when they cut the tree if it falls like Bob thinks it will it probably knockout our springhouse which collects our water supply for our home. Not to worried about this because Bob says it can be easily set up again in another section of our land.I think it is funny how somethings scare the whits out on you and fortunately this is not scarey to us. We have been without water for a few weeks when we had a draught many years agoSo we have the privlege of the night at their house, sleeping on their lovely new love seat and sofa. They are really comfortable and also very pretty.Well stay tuned for the next chapter in our saga.Hope you all are having a painfree night and we are happy to know that no one was hurt. Bob says there are many trees fallen on the road above our home.Blessings to allJudy in PAw

Now you can see trouble…before he arrives
