Lori - what a frightful event. Glad that you and Marty have power again and that you did not get hurt with all the wind/debris.

As for San Jose - this weekend has been in the triple digit temperatures - about 103 where I am.

Lori, I am glad that both you and Marty are safe and sound.

Faye, I will keep a copy of the poem. It is beautifully written.

I am so very grateful for all of you . It has been a tough challenge to swim against the current for my family, friends, neighbors, business collegues of my hubs, and our church family. We have all been hit hard by this one, as my hubby was our church organist, and a kind gentkle man to all. Many of you know how a sudden unexpedted turn in life throws us way off. I AM not in this alone, the folks mentioned above, are all in this together and have been VERY supportive also... I wish I could hug everyone of you who has sent a card, prayer, etc. I have a huge supportive circle helpng with so many things that need to be attended to. I appologize for the delay in a message, as the computer needed to be "cleaned" out of business items etc. for my protection, plus it decided to have an attitude lately. These days we function in a world of high tech and is is necessary to function with basics like communications. My faith is strong, and I have put my trust fully in GODS hands as to get through each day. I spend alot of time with my middle sister and her kids and grandkids. They seem to love having another auntie around and we help each other move forward together. GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU... LOOk forward to cont. the SP swaps as my hubby would want me to.. HUGS . My kitty is a great pal to have around too! =^.^=

Jan many many ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))). Glad to hear that you have alot of support and are taking it day by day. Also, having children around togive you those special hugs help also.

Catching up on reading the board...been a crazy month.

We used to have a woodpecker house hanging very high up on one of our trees. A number of critters lived there over the years. Several years ago I noticed something looking at at me when I walked the dogs in the yard. Finally figured out it was a little saw-whet owl. He didn't stay too long and I never saw him outside of the birdhouse, but he would stick his head out and watch us walk across the yard.

Has anyone ever been woken up in the middle of the night to a big long sonic boom, followed up this creepy ring kind of creepy long high pitch (almost like nails on the chalkboard) riiiiing that just kept ringing and is starting to make your ears do the same. That happened to me, in middle of the night. My cat heard too, she was laying on my bed, so she jumped up on my window pane to "investigate" it and see if she figure out what was going on. No one in my house heard it, except me and the cat. Luckily, I was not the only one in the city to hear it, there was several people around the city who heard it too. One guy said: I thought we were being invaded by a UFO! LOL!! It turns out what happened was a few miles from my house a powerline caught on fire in the middle of the night and it blew up the electrical wires, causing the boom and the ring.
