October 1, 2009: WELCOME TO OCTOBER!!!! Lightning storm to begin the month. Ouch

Well, I had jotted down a bunch of notes. Then we got hit by lightning – saw sparks outside the window by the pole. Everything popped – hurt our ears – still ringing. About as close as I want to be tonight to electricity. Ouch.

Anyway – everything is moving along at the house. Daisy’s fence arrived today. It came on an 18 wheeler – we had to meet the guy at the end of the lane. Picked it up and placed it into a smaller truck and brought it up the lane.

Dale was working on the closet and vanities today. Rodney and Don were working on the floors. So, everything is moving along. One step at a time. 🙂

Thunderstorms tonight – obviously. No severe weather expected.

Southern Illinois Electric – taking their wires down. They will leave the
poles for now in the field. Once the fields are clear then they will come
back and take the rest of the poles down.
