Well, we got the sad news today, from our neighbors at the lake, that multiple trees fell (one of which landed on the house) due to a quick but violent storm last night. Mom raced off to the lake to see what needed to be done. John also went so that he could help Mom and be there for moral support. These are some of the pictures he took. Thankfully, no one was there when it happened. What's crazy is that in 17 years, at a house surrounded by trees, we've only had one tree fall and certainly never any burglaries. At first, this made us so upset because the house was broken into a little over a month ago, and now this. But, as I said, this could be a blessing in disguise seeing as the house needed a new roof, ceiling, and deck anyway. Hopefully, insurance will cover everything. I have to say that we will miss the chair in the den tremendously. We've all spent lots of time in that chair- reading magazines, eating snacks, watching movies, sleeping, playing games, holding sleeping babies, cuddling, kids jumping off of it, etc. It sure holds wonderful memories! I'm sure we'll make just as many special memories in the new chair. For now, just pray that the insurance company and builder will make this as easy and smooth as possible for Mom.
Not a great place to park, Mom.
Need I say anything?
When Addi saw this, she said, "Mess, Mama!"
One of Dad's favorite places to hang out...
This looks about like the root ball from the tree that fell in our yard.
This one doesn't do it justice compared to some of the others.
John took this one on top of the roof.
