[Dragonkort]

well I don't know if anybody missed me or not, but if you did, we had a big storm around here and lost power and phone …  we had a LOT of big branches and tree trunks fall in and around our house.  I have been able to talk spike into letting me keep  some of the decent sized parts of the trees, but he wouldn't let me keep the really big pieces or of course as many pieces as I had wanted to keep but at least he let me keep some of them... I told he the reason I wanted to keep some of the really big pieces was because I could make coffee tables out of them....the ex and I had one when we first got married and I loved the way it looked later as the kids got older we gave it to my mom because we just used screw on legs from the store for the legs and after a few years it got wobbly and we were running out of places to rescrew the legs into it. lol mom had it for many years after we did. well anyway the Livingroom isn't big enough for a table but geezz that dosnt mean I coldnt make a few and keep one in like my craft room or something lol mumble grumble...but he has decided I am not strong enough to work on really large things anymore...mumble grumble....I hate when people tell me im not strong enough to do something lol he s proubly right be that totally besides the point!!! lol im sure I could find someone to help me make the big stuff lol but I will be good and just enjoy the pieces he let me keep. we don't have a heavy duity chain saw so its more then we can cut up with out getting a bigger chain saw...and spike dosnt want me trying to use our small chain saw to cut the lots and large branches because again he says im not strong enough to handle it.....mumble grumble i'll show him lol  going around telling me how strong im not!! lol  my getting out of breath and not being able to real good is not my problem its his!! lol maybe I should conk him up his head with a cast iron frying pan lol THEN we'll see if he still thinks im some kind of weak invaland!!lol of course I wont really do that...I love the dear man but he can sure get on my nerves at time...he keeps telling me I have to relearn how to live ….my opionn is he has got to learn to live with me the way I am now and if my  weezing and gasping for air bothers him when I do more then my body wants me to do well then he should just go in another room or in his grage until I catch my breath again!! ll  there now I feel better lol I don't rant and rave at spike like that …. no sense fighting over nothing lol  so what have I been up to these past few days...well I put a lot of patterns on wood, cut up tons of plarn and I think I now have enough granny squares to hopefuly finish my sweater.  and of course I went out side and tried to help spike clean  up the yard again some. frountly we have a gas stove so we could cook still. now all I have to do is see if I can find some patterns for making things from med ad small ad almost big tree branches lol well guys thts what s been going on around here hope everybody else who got the storm are doing ok and had very little damage...we only had one big tree brance fall on the roof , spike looked at it and theres like a small dent on tht part of the roof but no leaks … God was kind to us. and now im off to read a bit

That was quite a storm.. My power flickered a couple times but that was it.. and just about everyone in all the surrounding areas was without power.. many for several days.. I live in the middle of the woods.. but no trees come down on my place.. I think where I'm at the storm hit worst south and east of me.. so we got just the outer edge of the storm.. Battle Creek and Bellevue must have been right in the middle path of the storm..

Glad you're okay and not any serious damage to your home etc..

Yes, Bellevue Michigan.. But, if you've ever heard of Lacey? I'm about 3 miles south of downtown Lacey.. Hahaha That's funny.. no town or anything in Lacey.. 50 years ago there was a Post Office, a Phone Company, and a party store with a gas pump.. That's been long gone for at least 40 years I guess..The store stayed for the longest as they closed up about 5-10 years ago but the gas pump had been gone for 30 years probably..

Yeah, it's tough letting go when the kids grow up and start their own lives.. I moved my daughter out to Lansing last year for college and my son moved to Muskegon a couple years ago but his got slow and he moved back home last year. Thankfully they all stayed in the same state so far..Youngest will graduate high school next year... and daughter just finish one of her degrees but she is going to continue on to get more certifications in here ultra sound tech field she is doing.

Ironically, I lost power today for some unknown reason and as I was reading your post about losing power, mine came back on!
