After "IKE"

I'm using a wireless card and it's very very s-l-o-w! I just wanted to give all my wonderful loyal readers an update!

We are okay! We made it through "Ike"! I think the aftermath is worse than "Ike" itself! I will say that "Ike" packed a punch with some strong winds but it could have been so much worse!

We went to the lake house on Sunday ~ it's fine! Mr. "S" dad wasn't as lucky! He had a tree that hit his boat, garage, his work trailer and back fence.

My dad's house suffered some damage! He lives in a mobile home on 15 acres. The room that “use” to be my bedroom was damaged! A tree that was outside my room was up-rooter and it picked up the corner of the house, tore back the siding and bent the beam that runs under the house. It's pretty major! You can see through the floor and the roof of my old closet! YIKES! Dad put a big tarp up to cover the holes! I'm hoping dad will just "build" a new house ~ he so deserves it!

My mom is okay and her house suffered no damage! She is very lucky! Her subdivision looks like a war zone! We actually had to drive on the wrong side of the road to get to her house!

As far as a power update....We just heard there is power at our lake house! HOLY MOLY ~ We are so EXCITED to hear that!

Our apartment still does not have power! UGH! Another cold shower tonight! The radio said we could get power by Monday! Fingers Crossed!

Mom doesn't have power!

Dad does not have power BUT he is running two generators! One generator is hooked up to the washer and drier and the other is hooked up to his house running lights, fans, refrigerator and two deep freezers! So he is good to go! We have been eating good! Cleaning out his freezers! lol =)

Today is Mr. "S" and my first day back to work! We have been going out to dads each day to help him clean up the trees and limbs! I think as of yesterday we had seven HUGE burn piles! I'm sore, beat up with scratches and bruises! It makes me feel good to know we can give back to dad and help him ~ he has done sooooooooooooooooooooo much to help us with our lake house!

Friday night after work we will be heading up to the lake house to install the flooring! We have to get it installed by this weekend! We are moving in next weekend!!!

I'm sorry I couldn't stop by and visit your blogs =( this wireless connection is just so so so so so very slow!!!! I'm hoping to be back up and running by next week!!!

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!!! I miss yall!!!
