Yea! we finally have electric! Now I can explain about the photos in NM and CA. My Sis is with our trucker Sis on a run to California. She left during the storm on Sunday. We met the truck in Carefree and they will be back sometime next week. She is having a blast, loving it, I can tell by her calls home. Stay tuned for more pictures from her cell phone. She isn't saying much though.
Our electric was out from Sunday afternoon and was on when we got home Tuesday evening. We had a tree down across the power lines on the driveway. We had to clean out the fridge and freezer and take it to the shop. We has a couple of nice quiet evenings by lamp light here but we didn't stay up long, nothing to do but crank the emergency radio and look for any news. The lights are still out at Bea's, thank God for the nice weather. Not hot nor cold, just right. They were giving away food at the firehouse and the J C's for people that didn't have any.
Lois got a tree through her roof over Timmy's room and a hole above the living room. Nobody was hurt but they are praying for no rain until it can be fixed. Mom and Dad have no electricty but they have a generator.
Gas is $4.30 a gal. here! Yikes!

Hurricane force winds
This is two girls practically scared out of their wits by the catagory one (75 MPH) winds, and praying hard that we get home in one piece.
Ouch!
This happened 2 minutes after the photo below. A walnut, propelled by the high winds hit the windshield.

We had a beautiful day Saturday, didn't make much money but it was a nice day. We sold 3-4 signs and one bench. We would have sold more benches but there was so many people there that they were walking up to a half mile from their parked cars and they couldn't get in to pick up a bench. They were too heavy to carry out so we couldn't make the sale. We could only refer them to our shop and hope they come back. We got orders for a few signs so I will be busy for the next 2 weeks. I think they said there was about 4-5 thousand people there. I did give out all my cards and had to handwrite a few so it was a good day anyway. My dog Becka was due to have puppies that weekend but I thought it would be about Sunday or Monday. When I got up at 6am on Saturday I noticed she was about to deliver. I grabbed a laundry basket and a blanket and in 5 minutes it was coming out. I had to help because it was coming feet first and that is not the usual way. I pulled on it a little and it popped out. She only had the one and Mom and pup are fine.
Lois, Timmy wants to check out the web page Jurassic Fight Club so I said I would find it and send him a link. If you click on this he can look around, see pictures and play a little game there. Use it as a reward for getting a page of home work done or something like that.

Goodbye Baby Girl
Dr. vet man checked her out. She had a hole in the lip under her nose that went through the upper pallet and into the nasal passages. He said she would probably get pneumonia by accidentally inhaling milk into the lungs. So we said goodbye to our baby girl.

I didn't get to check out the puppies real good before I had to leave for work Monday morning and Sarah called me later in the day and said there was something wrong with one of the puppies. It sounds like what she was describing was was a cleft pallet but not being able to see it I wasn't sure. I did some research on the Internet and it says that if that is the problem, the puppy cannot get suction and can't eat. They don't recommend trying to save them, it will need surgery and a lot of attention. Sarah called me tonight and said that it looks like the pup is losing weight, now I am worried. I get off work at 9 in the morning and will be going home to check on it then.

Tinkerbell started labor about 12 last night. I stayed up until almost 3 am and she had two puppies by then. I decided to go to bed and let Sis sit up and do the worrying. I got up at 5:30 to check on them and Sarah was asleep in the dog pen and Tinkerbell had 5 of the cutest little babies you have ever seen! Mom and babies are fine but Sarah is a little sleepy. I wanted to get pictures to share with you but I had to go to work and wont be home again until Wednesday evening. I will take some then.
