Lots of food, lots of coffee ( one of the necessities of life you know), lots of firewood...bring on the snow !<BR/><BR/>Lanny, we know you would be here whenever you are able to help, and we are so grateful for friends like your family!Well, actually, we pretty much consider you family...<BR/><BR/>Miss Linda, yes, we are so blessed and I am constantly amazed at the faithful friends and family we have been blessed with.<BR/><BR/>Noble Pig, yes, the insurance company recommended a very good restoration company that were definitely very good...but as there was so much damage in the Pacific Northwest, and the weather was so bad, our home was not repaired until March and April...big tarps are good to have on hand in the country!KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-61992202397703260412008-12-16T18:27:00.000-08:002008-12-16T18:27:00.000-08:00Amazing the trials and tribulations we go through....Amazing the trials and tribulations we go through.

We would do it all again in a heart beat. If only we could have done more. What we did really wasn't that big of a deal, we like cutting up trees and hauling branches Physical labor like that is more like candy to this family than say spending the day at the mall! I would just rather not see the tree on top of our friends' house!Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-34257028789948731082008-12-16T09:06:00.000-08:002008-12-16T09:06:00.000-08:00Good to know that the storm is behind and everythi...Good to know that the storm is behind and everything looks so pretty once again! <BR/>Are you ready for tomorrow?

And what a wonderful family and friends you have!<BR/><BR/>A tree fell across the power lines on our street during that storm, and we had no electricity or heat as well. We lit the fireplace.<BR/><BR/>I hope you're staying warm there this week.
