Happy National Gum Chewing Day
Happy Birthday: Peter Oct.2
Prayer for our country and all the areas and people affected by Hurricane Helene
Good Morning from NC
The main news here is the devastation of western North Carolina and East Tennessee. We were fortunate and did not lose power and no trees down. Parts of Charlotte did, and some areas still don’t have power, but nothing like what happened in the mountains…it is overwhelming watching the videos of sides of mountains sliding down and taking out roads (over 300 hundred roads affected)and some small cities washed away as well. It is going to be a long build back process for sure. I just heard on the news that there may be some areas that won’t have power for months!
Praying for all the people affected and safety for them and all the rescue crews. There are many people still not accounted for, praying for their families.
Not sure about Lisa, Nick, Lacey, Jared if they have power. I know their area was hit as well. I think Richard was hoping to have power today.
On a lighter note, I’ve attached a photo of Hailey, Mackenzie, and Zoe.
Have a blessed week,
Love,
Gatha
We fortunately are just fine after all the rain. Very fortunate that we are in a valley with underground lines all the way from the substation, so we never lost power and saw very little wind. I recorded ~6″ of rain over 3 days, much less than areas south of us and thankfully not as much as they were forecasting here. Our only damage was a holly tree dinged the corner of our gutters, so I’ll have to fix that. Unfortunately, we know many that are less fortunate, praying for them and all those impacted.
Now off to the next unfortunate project…draining and closing the pool.
