Our Big 4th of July Bang !

With all the storms, lightning and rain we've been having can't say I was very surprised that we took a hit.  A huge HUGE tree fell on the house. It pulled the power box away from the house, put holes in the roof and deck and did a fairly decent amount of damage.
It hit on top of a one story addition, my GRANDs bedroom.  Had to quickly move everything out of there because it was raining inside as well as out.

Pulled power lines down and box off the house.

Took down a good part of the deck railing, big hole in deck

Looking out French doors in addition

Georgia Power came out quickly and disconnected the power lines but since it was the 4th it was Monday before we could start coordinating clean up etc.
Long story short, it took 8 days for us to get back in the house. We had updated the electric when we moved in but new codes meant the electric had to be updated again and it cost... a LOT. sigh.
 Now we are dealing with some health issues as well as other life things so I will be taking a break for a while.
 I always wonder what happened when people stop blogging so I wanted to let ya'll know.   Thank you for your visits, your sweet comments and your follows.  I will still try and visit you when I can.  Until then, ya'll bee sweet !
