April -- The Gift that Just Keeps Giving or Gotta Love Texas Weather

We had a line of thunderstorms roll through last night about 7 p.m.  There were 80 mph winds roaring through my backyard.  It was black as pitch and the trees were blowing so hard they were almost touching the ground.  Hubs heard a thud and....well, the photos are self explanatory.














So, yeah, I got nuthin' to say.

Yes, Jane we are fine! Thank you for asking. If it had fallen just a little differently things might not have been as good but thankfully no people were hurt or windows or walls taken out.

Bonnie -- We could see what happened but not the extent of it until the next morning. We finally got a good look yesterday when the tree trimmers got it off the roof and surprisingly there wasn't too much damage. A few shingles will have to be replaced but it doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought it would.

you were lucky as it could have been a heck of a lot worse. Thank goodness no one was hurt and the damage in minimal....

Gill -- yes, it could have been worse. I am so glad that nobody was hurt -- that is all I cared about. The house could be fixed but fortunately there isn't much of that. Lucky indeed.

 Ok, so we visited our cardiologist yesterday to get the lay of the land for the Hubs.  Seems there is an issue with one of the grafts from ...
