ok...first of all let me just say that we are all OKAY! actually we are all doing better that most people. I am so thankful that Daddy had the forethought to go ahead and get everything ready to use the generator. Just several weeks ago he had RECC (electric co) come out and he, rick and tim got the service ready so just in case, all he would have to do is flip a switch out on the pole and put the generator to the box and it runs off the tractor. (that is the very short version)
The entire county is without power. We found out that hurricane ike prepared a lot of people, they went out and purchase vent less heaters and gas logs for instances like this. so many people have some kind heat but not water...we are very very blessed.
Gaylon, the kids and I, grandma and monte are all staying with mom and dad. we don't know how long it will be. i hope we don't drive mom crazy. grandma and monte have done very well!!! please pray that it continues. mom is making monte sleep with her so she can keep him from peeing in the floor (he has started back to doing this...probably acting out) but he has not and we are thankful!!! grandma is good...she just feels like she has to be doing something if anyone is up in the kitchen. and you have to watch her cause she is fast as lightening about getting something that is not hers and putting in her purse, pocket or some place that must take a while to find :) it can be comical at times LOL!
Gaylon, Dad, Jonathan and Ricky are on the way to Union City...they(the city only) have diesel, gas and electric over there. EVERYWHERE else, including Paducah is without power. It looks like a war zone around here. (as you can see)
The pictures will be a surprising to you... it is sad but we are still grateful. no one is hurt, our homes are in good shape (just pray the pipes don't burst at our houses that don't have electric or heat) ***it will not upload right now, will send them later****
We have no phone service and no internet so we can't talk to you. Thank goodness Uncle Carl has internet!!! you can email and such, i will come back over later and check it again.
We love you all and inspite of all the changing of the scenery, we are still very blessed and God is taking care of us!
