I am hoping that weather cooperates in getting this repaired before the snow flies.
It's getting to be that time of year when the "after work" walks with Alicia end after the streetlights have come on. She needed 2.6 miles to get her 300 for the year, so we walked the route we call "Grape Ape with a Cape" which we knew would give her the miles.
Aaaaand done! She's got her medal. She waited to open the package until after we did our walk and I'll let her post the photo of herself wearing it. I will settle for the moon over street lights here! Photos never quiet do it justice, but... calm and not as warm as before the storm.
It was a lot to do and also pop up to Ontario to go to Lynda's (LeanJean6) virtual birthday bash, but y'all know her parties are NOT to be missed! It was a blast, as it always is.
My son tells me their Christmas decorations that were staked down survived the wind storm. Those that were not staked down they took inside the garage for the duration. I'm so grateful for what did NOT happen here, while praying for those who got worse weather. I did not lose power, but my cousin down on the farm did, and as of this afternoon they still didn't have it restored for them.
Here's hoping y'all are safe and warm and dry, and doing your best to support your health and well-being, physical, emotional and spiritual. Let's take care of these precious bodies... we each get issued one, and only one, so we'd best take care of it, this one and only Thursday, December 16, 2021 we'll ever get.
Life is Good. Spark on! 🎂🔥💖✨
Luckily for us the winds didn't do any damage. It was still windy on Thursday, but nothing like the day before.
ReplyDeleteGlad you came through unscathed! Only a week to Christmas Eve! Can you believe it? May your week ahead be appropriate to the season!
DeleteYes, lots of branches down, in fact one lady was driving along one of the highways and a branch fell right on her car. Frightening! We had lots of smaller ones around our place but all good and no loss of power.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Glad you're safe, hope the lady survived even if her car did not! Frightening for sure. I might have to repeat my story of driving home during a warning, when the hail came down and I muttered to myself what a BAD idea that was, to drive out in it, but I was halfway home, so I continued on, and made it, by the grace...
DeleteGlad the only casualty was a section of fence! ❤️
ReplyDeleteHope you guys can get it back up before the snow 🙂
Son's coming over to have a look later today, while his GF is working, to figure out what materials might be needed to make the repair. He and GF will help! Thank you, Heavenly Father, for putting such caring young folks in my life!
DeleteOH goodness! Sorry to see the damage to your fence. HOPE the weather cooperates on the appointed day of fence repair! Areas north of us had a tornado. Unheard of in Dec here in WI! Fortunately we had high winds but no damage.
ReplyDeleteYEAH for Alicia! Miles done and dusted! Good job.
Ditto on Lynda’s party! Always a fun event!
Glad DS’s outdoor Christmas décor survived. PHEW

Yes. Always makes me feel a tad guilty to be grateful for decorations surviving when elsewhere lives have been lost... but as you and I both know, that's the way life is... uneven, and we have to find the bits of joy even when there is a lot of sorrow about.
DeleteGlad everybody is safe and unharmed and that even the Christmas decorations with stakes from your son's place survived. TGIF, have a lovely one.
ReplyDeleteThanks! 💖
DeleteThankful you are safe. Kudos to sister! That's quite a commitment...accomplishment, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, it is a fine accomplishment. Proud of her!
