We have no TV. It aint bad unless you have kiddos still at home. When our granddaughters come down they dont seem to miss it! Glad everyone is ok.

Glad y'all are safe though sir. And thankful your house didn't burn down.

We had a strike hit a very tall pine tree in our front yard several years ago. About 2:00 a.m. and it sounded like a bomb exploded. I came straight up out of a deep sleep. It did no damage to the house but the lightning transferred to a big mulberry tree because one limb was touching the pine. It then went down the trunk of the mulberry and went to ground destroying the valve for our sprinkler system ($700 repair job there.) The pine tree died slowly, and we had to have it taken down after about three years. Half of the mulberry died.

Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.
