Well, that's over

Got the holidays out of the way at least. Next is New Years and then, I guess, I can look forward to him coming home. We managed Christmas ok, he had trouble calling home because he didn't call the number I gave him, but it got solved and the kids at least did fine. Before that the kids and I survived a horrible wind storm, spening the night under the bed and w/o power for 5 days. The fire dept helped me get the generator started after 2 days but we were still friggin cold. And then this last weekend the neightbor showed up to clear the branches off the roof for me and we found this:



Thank god for great neighbors!! and fire chiefs :-)
I'd have never found the hole if they hadn't shown up, I just wasn't finding time to climb up there and throw branches off.
