It was Saturday afternoon when the first storm hit. Lucky I had finished mowing the yard. Shortly after wards we went to a co-worker's daughter's wedding. It was the strangest wedding we'd ever gone to. She was from Laos and the groom was from France.
When we left it was poring again. After we got home my wife just went crazy and fell apart because of something very minor that she even said was nothing worth the drama. It was all I could do to hold everything together for the moment. She apologized this morning but the damage was already done.
This is when I should mention that we lost power at 3:30 a.m. and it didn't get turned back on until 6:00 this afternoon. The day was so quiet with electricity, no tv, no Internet no nothing. All we did was make napkin rings for own son's wedding.
We were lucky compared to many in others here in Missouri and Oklahoma.
Below is the reason we lost power. A neighbor's huge tree decided to fall prey to the damaging wind and ended up resting directly on the telephone pole. Below that is the mess we were making while doing our hours & hours of craft work. It is so boring.
