To say it's been hot is an understatement. 90ish most days. And we have had rain. Oh yes, we have had rain...lots of rain. It has (mostly) come in the form of really really nasty thunderstorms with lightning bolts that make you want to put your head under the covers. And all around midnight or 1:00.
Our electricity has gone out every night for a few minutes for the past 4 nights. Not nearly as long as many of our friends in the area -- one of whom is my friend Joan. Joan called this morning. Her electricity was out -- again!! -- and she is housing 15 people. Her son, Nathan is getting married tomorrow! Com Ed has promised she can have her electricity back on Sunday. Nice of them. So she was farming family out -- did we have a spare room?
We did, and we do.
She called back and Karin and Todd and baby Addie are going to stay with some good friends, and she has the rest of the family sorted out.
Our house is 113 years old. When we get these storms I wonder if its time is up. Will this be the night the mammoth maples in the back or the German chestnuts in the front will topple? Right on our roof?
So I ask the Lord to send his guardian angels around us and the house for yet another time....
And he does.
