Well how is your week going?  It's half done already.  My how time flies!


I had an eventful ride home yesterday.  I worked as a consultant and the road home was VERY WINDY.  It was so windy it blew a truck off the road.  I got a call from a DF saying watch out for a grass fire.  It was a huge grass fire! Right as I passed it the wind switched and the fireman and farmers really had to scramble!  It's amazing that no one was hurt.  No houses were destroyed but a farmer lost his barn and some other outbuildings.  Fences are likely destroyed. 


DS was out in the middle of it of course with the rest of the fire dept. 


Lots of houses have roof damage including ours.  DH was up on top hammering down the strip that goes across the top of the house.  Our shingles were getting bad and now they are "toast".  Do you know how expensive shingles are???? YIKES.


Tomorrow is my last day working at the nursing home.  Then I'm in town the rest of the week.

Donna, I'm so glad you're okay and that no one was injured.
