Pray Tell

"Pray tell." I love that expression. I heard it a few days ago as in, "Pray tell, another hurricane isn't coming our way."

Well, at the time I couldn't tell the person that because, in fact, we thought Hurricane Ike was sending storms our way, but we were pleasantly surprised.

Although some folks did lose electricity in our parts for the weekend, we didn't have a lot of damage or flooding here though I know in other parts of the state they did. We thought it would be a lot worse.

We just got over snapped electrical poles from Gustav (see photo outside by front door), so everyone was much relieved

So, even though the weather didn't go quite as the weathermen were telling us, it was reason enough for everyone to pray...

Bless their souls

We were hit by Hurricane Gustav's storms where we live in Arkansas ( between Okahoma and Little Rock) with power knocked out for two nights and a deluge of rain for three days. Half of our work crews had gone to Louisiana to help down there, and so we had workers coming in from Kansas and Oklahoma. All through the darkness their big trucks traveled from one transformer to the next. We are grateful to everyone who helped us out.
