Pics from Ike

I thought I would show what dear Ike brought to us!

This is the tree that fell on our shop...as well as the neighbors fence

The view from the inside...under the tree is all of my husbands tools and things
Will next to the roots The jeep
And again...
We really were luckier than a lot of people. We only have a few leaks in our house because of blown off shingles...we've met with the insurance people and all so we shall see soon about getting it all fixed. I feel for those people who are dealing with much worse and even more for those who have not been allowed to go back to see what they might have left.

Slacker

Ok....I am officially a slacker. I really am trying to get the hang of this blog thing...I don't even know how to add people's blogs and all...and to think that I should be more technically savvy!! Well...we are in the aftermath of Ike-the biggest pain in my neck since...well i won't name names. I had been back in school for 3 weeks (I have soooo many students in my classes) and here comes the hurricane. We are supposed to be far enough away from the coast but this time that wasn't true. We had my family staying with us since they are closer to the coast and I think we got more damage than those staying with us. A tree took out my husbands jeep and another took out our shop. Not good with us! We were out of electricity for 5 days which to us was awful but better than my family who may not get theirs back until October. My parents are still staying with us for a little bit just to escape into air conditioning for a while. We did get the week out from school which is bitter sweet. I enjoyed it but the students will be awful and crazy come Monday. Then to top it all off...my mother in law called and informed me that our nephew and neice have whooping cough and that since we were around them...we would need to get on antibiotics just in case-so today we went to the doctor and spent money on meds for me, Tucker, and Will. But better safe than sorry!
