IKE

So we had a hurricane. We evacuated to Bartlesville Wednesday, September 10th. And we hung out there for about a week wondering what our house would look like when we got back. Today we have been in the house for 1 full year. We had just barely finished all the interior painting, and I was concerned our new roof wouldn't be there either. However, we were very fortunate.

Coming back into town we saw so many trees down. It was mainly branches everywhere, but it looked so sad. Not the clean town we're used to. We pulled up to the house and on either side of the street branches were piled up. It looked aweful. We pulled in and of course our garage door didn't work. We went the the back to check things out.

We had a tree fall down in the back on the power line and ruin our fence, but that was pretty much it. We didn't get power back until the next Thursday, September 25th. We bought a camping stove and lots of soup. John thought we should document the soup eating. We were very fortunate the first few days because it was nice and cool when we opened the windows at night. It started getting hot, and then I got sick, then John got sick, and after we finally bunked down with the Handly's for a night we got power back! It was very exciting. So these are the pictures!
