THIS IS A NOTE FROM DOOFIE - Lets send her
well wishes & Cheer for her safe return, and PRAY for her situation to improve soon!
***To each and every one of you, my much loved friends, thank you! I'm sure
most of you have heard by now all my trials during those days of no
power! My phones are tied in with my cable and internet, so all I had
was the cell phone, and it is useless unless you have phone numbers! I
lost 3 freezers full of food, but my dogs were extremely happy! They
were Very well fed! My shih tzu now rolls instead of walking, she put on
so much weight! I could keep the cell phone charged with a cord we have
for the car. ALL my phone numbers, etc. were stored in my computer!
Won't do That anymore! Have a hard copy now! We had a sudden windstorm
of flat winds of 70 to 80 mph, gusting to 100 mph. Lasted about 45 min.
Uprooted thousands of trees, most of which came down on power lines! No
way to contact anyone but my daughter in TX., but couldn't get her into
my addresses for anywhere else! I don't remember now how long he waited,
but bucc, bless his heart, called the Emergency Services of Beckley and
those people came 20 miles out to the house to check on me. They were
Much impressed that I had a friend in England who would go to that kind
of trouble (To tell the truth, so was I LOL! ). They e-mailed him back,
and had brought me his phone number so I could text him to finally let
him know everything was ok. . He probably regretted it, as my son gave
him grief for Days! We had no power from 6/30 until 7/11. With no power,
my sump pump to the septic tank couldn't pump, so the heat wasn't too
bad, but the stench was awful! Price gouging was rampant! A sack of ice
(IF you could get one ) cost nearly 5.00! And generators were tripled in
cost! Gasoline went from 3.95 to nearly 6.00 a gal. I had no damage to
the house, and none of us were hurt, so I felt blessed from the start! I
don't want to do this to any of you, but if you have someone you Really
dislike, I have a 17 yr. old grandson I will send to them all expenses
paid! I'm still playing catchup on soda, and didn't find this until
today. I missed you all so much! I love you all even more!

I still recall the ice storm of '94...seven days and nights without power. Major roof damage...loss of freezer food.
Sounds like you got it much worse than we did w/Hurricane Hugo... at least we knew the storm was coming!
HE is with you.
It's amazing we can survive even the most trying of situations.
There are enough prayers here to last you a lifetime, but I'll just add mine to this long list anyway.
Keep The Faith!
Sending payers your way....
What a bad deal.
I'm praying for you !
My prayers are with you, dear.
:-)
Glad all OK.
Our loving Savior came to me in a dream,
And brought me to a place where dreams live,
And showed me life’s not always what it seems,
And gave to me a gift that I now give:
He whispered, “Take my hand, I’ll lead you through
A place where all your dreams can come true!
Close your eyes and open up your heart,
For then this flight of dreams will start.
He brought me through the darkness to the light,
A patchwork quilt of beauty without seams,
Where colors wrapped around me with delight,
Each color was a rainbow full of dreams.
He led me through a hall of lovely sound,
And from each room a song would gently play,
With doors flung open widely all around.
And I wished with all my heart that I could stay.
We drifted in the fragrance of the breeze;
We tasted all of life that we could see,
To savor all the flowers and the trees.
And felt it flow as one in harmony.
Then my Savior turned to me and said
“Dream now, and dream of love and light,
You’re the keeper of these dreams inside your head.
And dreams will lead you safely through the night.
The Lord made me the keeper of this dream, it’s true,
May their loving kindness visit you each night,
For I offer all my dreams to you.
To fill your soul with love and warmth and light!
Hope things get back to normal for you soon!
