Lstew, bless you for helping. Glad your house wasn't damaged any more than the tree limbs. It's during times like this that people really come together and re-learn what being neighbors really means. Good can come out of the bad.

We are leaving in the morning for SIL's funeral in south Louisiana. It took several extra prep days as her body was moved from Kentucky to Louisiana. Thank God our sweet neighbor offered to come tend to my dog twice a day so I don't have to take him to a kennel. He would be so afraid and stressed and so would I, thinking about him.

I've been off on a tangent giving a makeover to a doll I found at an estate sale over the weekend. Want to see? She is a Mattel Chatty Cathy from the early 60's, but no longer talks. Most of them don't talk anymore.... She was naked and had ugly matted hair and was dirty, but she cleaned up so well. Her hair still was pretty once it was cleaned and combed out and curled, and she loves her new sailor dress. (Ignore the pink socks-- she will have red shoes eventually.)
