Miriam: How very Blessed we are

[Miriam C.]

Thank you all! Yes I will post pictures but I am on a borrowed puter as Joplin has no internet.

We are all alive and only Mike has a bad scratch... My teardrop is doing a beautiful headstand huh. 3/8" Baltic Birch is some good stuf...Well yes they will blow away but mine took out a section of deck.. Hatch is damaged, cabinets I refused to glue in (forgot) are out but really unless the frame is bent it will need a roof and some PAINT!

I love you all and thank your all for everything....

The houses---the white house is Mike's childhood home---he is just crushed and stunned! The other house is ours and the pictures don't do it justice. My baby boy (22) was in that in the bath....Yes it works but the house in the front and back are gone. The trees fell and are holding the house together and probably saved my son's life!!!!!! Thank God for trees....

If anyone in our area has a CHEAP car---we have at least one that is not covered. My daughter's and she works. I am doing transport...

Yes I was fishing and left Mike to wrestly that thing alone. My car is acting funny but I think we scared it running out of West MIneral.... Alda may never go fishing with mom again....

More later!@

SO great to hear from ya Aunti M!!! Im so happy that everyone in your family os okay!!

[Ratkity]

Like everyone, I was so super relieved to hear from you and that the family was ok. I was amazed at the head-stand the tear was doing!! Wouldn't have recognized the hatch next to the house had someone not pointed it out.

Stay safe. Know you are cared about here. When overwhelmed, I was told to "do the next right thing in front of you" and don't focus on things too far ahead.

Hugs, always,
Ratkity

Auntie , have you managed to check out federal disaster funding yet ... Government should be giving out assistance checks by now ... Check the FEMA site ...

Glad You and yours are OK !!!

[dakotamouse]

Things can be replaced.......you and your family can't. I am so glad you are alive and well.

[Woodbutcher]

Great to see you are all Ok and have a sense of hope for the future. Great job building the teardrop! That is amazing how it held up. Keep us informed and let us know if we can help some how.

God Bless

Glad to hear you all are alright, that is the important thing! Take it one day at a time as you begin the rebuilding.

[Gaelen]

Miriam, it is so good to see this message. Hold your family close, and be well. And as someone else mentioned, do the next thing in front of you, and breathe. My strongest thoughts.

[Cliffmeister2000]

Praise God you are all okay! Like Dakotamouse said, stuff is only stuff. Maybe God was lightening your load a bit. Seriously, let us know how we can help!

[S. Heisley]

I think most everyone here loves you, Miriam, and was worried for you. Thanks for the update on how you're doing. Take good care of you and yours.
