Today is my Momma’s birthday, but you won’t see photos of the birthday girl until tomorrow. As I’m writing this it’s EARLY, but we finally have power.
What a day we had yesterday!
A thunderstorm rolled through locally around 6:00 PM or so. Marc Weinberg, of WDRB in Louisville, let us know that their gear in Seymour, IN, measured 81mph winds. I didn’t notice any trees down here at the barndo… just lots of limbs everywhere I need to clean up. While it was windy enough to move my furniture from one end of the deck to the other, I have no clue how strong the winds were.
Then my favorite brother sent a text to let me know he heard what he thought was 3 loud gunshots near his home in Fort Wayne. He called 911, but the outcome of the police dispatched to the neighborhood is unknown to him. Funny, when I hear gunshots I think someone’s nailed a coyote. That’s certainly not what he was thinking.
Poor NaLona, who lives just inside the town limits of the Ville, hadn’t gotten all the repairs completed from the last storm and she got hit again. Tree down. I feel so awful for her, even though I know others have it worse. Poor girl can’t catch a break.
No electricity for HOURS!
We were without power for hours. No electricity means the garage doors won’t open. And because someone’s special day is today, I needed a cake so it was pretty darned important to get a car out as soon as the storm subsided. Ben unhooked the garage door from the electric opener and it flew up. Now, we can’t get it down.
J&G Garage Doors will be here today, but that meant last night I slept with my pistol and one eye open.
Things be looking up because someone has cake to eat. 🎂
Stay tuned for Ms. Pesky’s party photos coming here tomorrow.
Now you know: Research has shown that some forms of cognitive stimulation like video games being played by seniors may delay or slow the onset of degenerative neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Now you know #2: As a senior gamer, I’m feeling confident dementia won’t hit me until I’m at least 105.
