Ice Storm!

We had an incredible ice storm here on Christmas Eve. We lost power at 9am Christmas morning and it only just came on yesterday afternoon at 2pm!

I cannot wait to upload all these pictures and maybe some video. Samaritan's Purse has their Disaster Relief workers working on helping people out of their homes and back into them. Click here if you want to help.

We were blessed that we didn't have any damage to our home, and that two of our neighbors kept supplying us with wood for our stove (we ran out twice!). We finally moved into another friend's house who was out of town until today. Hot showers and a warm meal was just what we needed after four and a half days with no water or power!

So thankful that God was watching over and providing for you. And SO thankful you're back at home with full power! Now, if only you could find that turkey.... at least it would be good for some turkey-bowling on the ice. ;)

I thought that area was hit hard and I was thinking about y'all. We didn't get all that ice in Vilas, lost power for 6 hours on Christmas morning. Glad you finally got it back.
