The Storm



We had a fun storm last night, but now there will be some lonely days ahead. It rolled in about 5:30. The power went out about 6:00 and it didn't come back on until around 11:00. We got some quarter-size hail and strong winds with it. I thought for sure these clouds were going to form into a tornado, but they didn't. My coworker that lives north of town had 5 trees down. So needless to say, the claims came rolling in to Shawn today. Last I heard from him, he was sure there would be over 300. Over 500 is considered a catastrophe and they call in help from around the country. He did get 10 adjusters sent this way to help him. But he is going to have some late nights the next couple of weeks. Marty got called back to the rig and Justin only comes home to sleep and shower. So it's just me and the dogs. We have another small storm going right now. We're getting rain again, so that's nice.

Good times





It's been a busy couple of weeks. Mom and Dad brought Rylin over the week of the 4th. Then Thurs night we drove to Cody. Shawn had his 10 year reunion on the 4th. Like mine, not too many showed up, but it was a good time. We got to see our friends, Brad and April that moved to Michigan, and light off fireworks with Kayla and Mackenzie. Rocky had his 1st birthday on the 4th! He still has his puppy moments, but he is getting to be a good dog. On Wed. Christy, Ryan and Rylin came through and stayed the night. Wish it could have been longer, but it was good to see them.
