• Disasters

  
  T.  drove me out to see our building that burnt.
  
  
  It's a mess. We're still waiting to see what insurance is going to do. The owner of the powder coating business wants to rebuild his business, but we don't yet know when or where. We would prefer to just sell the land. It's a good location......near WalMart and Lowes and across the road from the airport. Time will tell.

  Actually this disaster is nothing compared to what happened during the storm Tues. night.Just a few miles from here a tree fell on a trailer, and a 14 year old boy was killed. This is the same trailer park where several of our children and grandchildren lived. The trees, of course are old, as the park has been there a long time. There were lots of other trees down too, but I didn't hear of any other injuries. I didn't know the boy or his family. The news said he lived with his grandmother who is sick. The community has set up a fund to help her with funeral expenses.

  But life goes on for the rest of us. My grand-daughters' day care is closed this week, so I've done a lot of babysitting.  Plus cable was out on and off yesterday, so not much internet access. Our power was only out Tues. night for about 2 hours. I think others may still be without power. Yesterday, I had 2 caps replaced. I hired 3 older grandkids to babysit the 2 younger ones while I was at the dentist having 2 crowns replaced. Speaking of crowns, the day before that the 2 little girls wanted to play Princesses. We made a tent Castle, and later made crowns. Here is the Castle, with one of the few pictures I have of the little one smiling.
