ka-BOOM!!!

3.9.06
It was a stormy Thursday night...high winds and heavy rains. We were all bedded down for a night of blissful slumber in our doggie-beds when suddenly - ka-BOOM!!! The whole house shook on it's foundation. We had no idea what happened, but Mom wasn't too pleased. Seems like the storm got the best of the neighbor's large, old tree, which proceeded to fall on our house. Not wanting to go down without some fanfare, the tree took down all of the power lines in the general vicinity...knocked them all over the street, our driveway & the yard.

They had to bring in a CRANE to get the tree off of our house!! It was quite a spectacle. The house sustained some damage to the roof, gutters & exterior, however everyone who saw the mess said we were very lucky that it didn't smash it's way all the way into the house. That would have been not so good.

Mom is now quite happy with something called "Homeowner's". Not too sure what that is, but our house is scheduled to be fixed, so it can't be too bad...
