Wow!

Huge wind storm came through today. We had no power all afternoon. I saw that the basketball hoop fell over but Rick was sleeping so I just left it and figured he and I could move it before he left for work. Our neighbor came over and she asked me if she could help me move it.(It was laying on our dogwood). I told her I was going to wake him up in a few minutes anyway. Five minutes later a huge crash on our front window. The street tree blew over. Looking for the positive in all things- our window didn't not break. Thankful for neighbors who came to help especially the one with the chainsaw. Aidan had his last soccer game today. Been just another week of maneuvering work, school, activities. Beautiful rainbow last Monday night. Had some car break in's in the neighborhood with police, sirens and one arrest. The neighbor two doors down woke up to nike shoes and a laptop in his front lawn (after a night of rain) from one of the suspect's that got away. Apparently (it seems) we were the only ones who slept through it. EVEN THE DOG. I told Rick we need a back up dog. He's still not on board.
