Hi Monsy,

Heard about the storms over there. How is life, everything allright ?

TM.

sorry for the delay in my reply but the only time i seem to get online is at the office and depending on the day i can get pretty busy and not have time.
the storms have come and gone. mark is working long hours repairing the damage. count so far is 12 dead, 10 in one county alone. poor people, one day they have a home and belongings and the next they have nothing but what is on their back . nice thing is there are a lot of people giving up their time and belongings to help. mark said that one of the churches in the area, without power and damaged itself, has been opened since right after the storms left providing shelter and food. they are handing out food boxes today and have an open closet with clothes, baby needs and so on .
how are things with you? i understand shazz is working her tail off at school.

Hi Monsy,

Well at least you and the family were allright then. We had a galeforce-12 storm(hurricane-strength) here a week or two ago and it took some of the tiles off our roof.

For the rest we are fine here, Shazz is indeed working long hours learning dutch but she has the satisfaction of coming in first of the class most of the time We also had some technical problem that pprevented us both from writing long postings/entries so especially Shazz was a bit handicapped, to put it mildly...

Anyway : I read that those storms were most fierce in Tennessee. If you have damage to the house it must be a real mess down there?

Greetz,

yes, tennessee had some pretty bad ones the other night. hopefully with the seasons changing this will be the last of them until next season. mark is still working late hours and it looks like he will be working on saturday as well
we were planning on painting the computer room but i guess we will wait. i figure they need phones/power/shelter worse than i need to paint my computer room.
glad to hear your damage was mild, of course tiles on roofs being disturbed can lead to worse things. in the business i am in we see a lot of homes that have just one shingle loose/out of place and within a short period of time there is tons of sheetrock repair to do on the inside from it.
