Shambles

We flew home from Hawaii on December 2 and found that Oregon had been hit with violent winds while we were gone. While spending the night at Jim's brother's house in Portland, we viewed the devastation on his television. In the morning we flew home, picked up our car at the airport, and drove home.

We walked into our house, situated our luggage in the bedroom, started a fire, and greeted the dog. It was at this point I noticed our shed out back. It was raised up on the right side about 2 1/2 feet. The only thing that kept it from blowing into the neighbor's yard were the large juniper branches right over it.

Just after we arrived home Jim and Glenda came down with horrible colds that wouldn't let go for almost 3 weeks. It was only after they were well that they were able to re-establish the shed.

Things are back together now, but Jim has had to rebuild the fence three times after the winds worked havoc on it. But, alas, we are thankful for our home and God's protection.

Glad to know the shed is back in order! Tobin and I had wanted to help with that, but I'm glad it got back together!
