Hurricane Irma Update

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope none of you are still in the
path of Hurricane Irma,  but I am
sure there are some of you,  but
hopefully it won't be as intense
for you.

Just wanted to let you know we

came through Hurricane Irma

with no damage other than frayed
nerves from hurricane tracking 
frustration and lack of sleep and
 a bunch of big broken limbs off our
 Maple tree, that fell in our yard. 
as you can see in the pictures.

 So thankful they did not fall on

 the house!

Our tree looks pretty sad right now, 
but think we will be able to have her
trimmed up at the right time and she
will look nice again hopefully.  So
glad we had it trimmed up a few
years ago or we might have had
some possible damage to the
house.

My SIL Susan did fine in the storm
as well,  other than some soffiting
the blew up into the roof line, but
that is a fairly easy fix that hubby
can do when he gets to it.

and
our son and his family did well too, 
but it looks like his yard is demolished.
I am hoping it want look as bad as
they think, once all the debri is cleared
away.  I remember how I felt when 
Hurricane Charlie demolished our
backyard, it just makes you sick,
all that hard work down the tubes,
but the fact, everyone is okay is
the most important thing, it takes
time but it does regrow and look
good again.
.

We still have tropical storm gusts 

at times, and they are getting to be 
less and less thank heavens, and
 this time we do have our electricity,
and honestly, that is a miracle, as 
that has never happened before in
our 36+ years of living here....as
 we lose power in all of our storms.
  This time we prayed that we would

 retain power so that we might be able
 to help someone else, as we have been
 helped so many times in the past. 
 So we are excited and have already

offered for some people to come

here once it is safe. 

 It was a very long, agonizing and
 exhausting week and a very long
 night as Irma passed by us and
then scared us a bit with her last
minute change in track,  so we 
 didn't get a lot of sleep, due to that
and all the prior tornado warnings
on the front end as she arrived,
and we are so grateful the storm
has passed us, and now we think 
the worst of the storm has passed
 Dee and Jerry finally, so we can
 totally relax and enjoy it's passage.
What a crazy storm and crazy
ride it has been....... Doubt
we will every forget her...or
Hurricane Charlie ever.   lol

Now we can turn our attention to
hopefully praying Hurricane Jose
out to sea.......and praying for
all those in Houston, La. and
now here in Florida as they
recover from these horrific
storms.

Mostly we praise our Heavenly

Father for his gracious love, peace
 and protection thru this storm,
and for all our family, friends
and blog friends who prayed 
for us during this time. We felt
them and know God answered.

Love, Hugs and 

Hurricane Blessings

to all who are still

experiencing Irma,

Nellie
