The guardian angels are working overtime :)<BR/>Fairly envious Barb of your weather. Finally got some sun yesterday, but still chilly, today back to overcast and chilly (but...YAYYY...no winds). Back home, termites dead, house in total disarray, but glad to be home.<BR/>Beth, any more news on the jobs? Keeping good thoughts winging your way.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139459395637238387.post-56849810727606043292008-01-09T09:37:00.000-07:002008-01-09T09:37:00.000-07:00Glad to hear about the job possibilities.

That must have been an adrenaline-pumping experience.<BR/><BR/>Mark had a somewhat similar story involving a deer crashing through his windshield while he was driving down to Grand Rapids in December. He ended up with windshield glass all over his face, minor bleeding from the glass but nothing that required medical attention. Virginia had to drive down and get him, bring him home, then he had to turn around and drive their other vehicle to the appointment, without having a chance to rest or sleep.<BR/><BR/>We've had some cold and wind, but it was 70 degrees yesterday and almost that this morning (but temps are going to drop this afternoon, cold and rain tomorrow).<BR/><BR/>Elle, all that wind sounds scary. I worry about the trees around here when that happens, in terms of one falling on the house. Got lucky in the most recent wind storms and didn't even lose power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139459395637238387.post-59412360976512908332008-01-07T08:08:00.000-07:002008-01-07T08:08:00.000-07:00Yikes!

I'll take windless below zero temps over that anytime! <BR/><BR/>We have high winds, usually in April, and the sound drives us crazy, but we don't have any trees big enough to do damage to house, sheds, or cars.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461366318368627707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139459395637238387.post-44129721280691321262008-01-06T20:57:00.000-07:002008-01-06T20:57:00.000-07:00Yeah, Friday morning at 4 am the wind started howl...Yeah, Friday morning at 4 am the wind started howling so much that we brought Xam to bed with us...he freaks at noises like that. The windchime you gave us played like crazy :) We lost a part of the barn roof, a limb was torn off the cypress and smooshed the windshield of the 4Runner,and we lost a good part of the locust tree near the sunspace...but it missed hitting the house. Other tree limbs blocked the driveway and Fairbanks Rd, too, so we had a chainsaw party, then a barn re-roofing party when the wind died down. Oh, and power was out from 4 am to about 10 am, then on and off for brief spurts through Friday day. Must have re-set the clock on the microwave about 10 times :) Now we are jsut having plain old rain...and getting ready to tent the house on Thursday.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139459395637238387.post-42578966608101042312008-01-06T12:25:00.000-07:002008-01-06T12:25:00.000-07:00Elle,How's the weather there?

Glad you are taking in lots of tea, coffee, cocoa, soup, etc. to combat the cold. I have trouble even beginning to understand how cold that really is....you have my sympathy.<BR/>Fingers crossed...toes, too. Oh, and eyes since it is almost 11:30 and I usually go to sleep at 10.
