Our Own Doofie Girl.......needs our prayers & well wishes!

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!
