Christmas 2008
Elmo is my friend....talks a little too much....went home with my Mommy and Daddy....wonder how long his batteries last??
Great way to end the day....watching an Elmo movie with my Dad
This little pony is 17 hands high......I love him...
My Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Marie just went to the back of the family tree with this neat drum set...No batteries required.
Christmas 2008
Christmas 2008 has come and now gone....We went to Pete and Teresa's on Christmas Eve and we had a new Santa.....see the little one in the white dress.....she was very enthusiastic even if she was not sure who got what....
Little future Santa likes whole apples....none of this cutting up into smaller pieces for me.....

Elizabeth
Elizabeth is beginning to eat with spoons and forks....too early for knives....the results can be a little messy. She also likes being mobile and make a lot of noise....she will make a good teenager.She likes to read, especially if there are lots of colorful pictures. Forbes is for her dad.....Slots is for her Grandma Judy.
She will be a well informed young lady.

May 2 Tornado...The End
The roofers have finished installing the shingles and the skylights. They found a 5' long snake skin under the middle skylight when they replaced the decking beneath the skylights...could have been there a long time. Just how that snake got there is probably interesting....we are just glad this part is over. We still have to replace the storage shed.....more decisions.Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Elizabeth and the pool
We have a new above ground pool....a little small and cheap but Elizabeth had a great time in it. Jessie is the Yellow Lab and wants someone to throw one of the ducks so she can fetch it. Someone likes water squirted on her and her mom was quick to splash her.

Elizabeth Visits
What can be better....Ice Cream, Cardboad boxes and reading material...even if the book is upside down and backwards.
May 2 Tornado - Update
Our shingles have arrived. 54 squares which is about 162 bundles....Tipper thought it was thundering when they dropped the bundles on the roof and stayed really close. The windows were replaced yesterday...slowly coming together. It may be 2 more weeks before the roof is put on...they are still waiting for the skylights. Each square (3 bundles) went up $4 on June 1. Pulaski County is also fixing the road...pretty timely ...33 days...good thing Entergy does not work the same way.

May 2 Tornado
This is a picture of the tornado taken from about 1 mile NE of us. Our house should be somewhere on the left edge of the funnel along the tree line in the back. It was taken about 11:41 am.Monday, May 5, 2008
May 2 Tornado
This damage is to Judy's brother, Lonnie's house. There were 3 very large oak and hackberry trees well over 100 years old uprooted and at least one went thru Lonnies roof. Lots of damage here. His shop and 3 out buildings were destroyed. Lonnie was not hurt either.May 2 Tornado
2 Entergy construction crews replaced the 6 destroyed poles by 2 pm Saturday and we had power restored by 5:30. Just 30 hours after the storm. They had the right tools.Friday, May 2, 2008
May 2 Tornado
The insurance company sent a construction crew down and they put temporary patches on the roof and window. This was 6 hours after the tornado.
The insurance folks were real good about checking on us.
We expect to be without power for 3+ days. There is a lot of damage in Hensley and Woodson so it will take them awhile probably to get to us. We do have a generator and plenty of gas so as long as it does not get too hot we should be fine...
May 2nd Tornado
Another view of the SW part of our house. Jimmy, Matthew and I were in the center hall bathroom at the time. We could hear the wind get louder and louder and it shook the house a little but we did not hear any of this. The contents of our storage shed are in the foreground. The Lexan plate that is missing is a hundred feet North of here. It is pretty tough stuff and had lasted 26 years but was shattered at the other end of the house.
May 2nd Tornado
Another picture of the trees North of our house. These fell facing North. The trees a few yards behind me are facing East toward these trees. Chunks of pavement can be seen scattered about.
May 2nd Tornado
This picture is taken from about the same spot as the flood picture below.....less water, but the pavement was sucked up at this spot for about 30 yards. There are no power poles in the picture because they are all laying on the ground. This is about 200 - 300 yards North of our house. Farther East several power poles were pulled straight up out of the sandy soil....
May 2nd Tornado Pictures
This is our greenhouse and sun room. A storage shed SW of our house disintegrated and blew out the windows on our West side. Most of our damage is in this area and the shingles on the roof.
