Jerry was finishing setting up the computer in it's new location when he heard a loud sound, a thud, and the electricity went out and came back on. A car had wrecked in our yard, snapped the support wire to the electric pole, and ended up on it's side. He came in frantic, looking for a flashlight----thus I awoke! (I'd heard the noise of the wreck, but went back to sleep.) We went out there and there was no one in the car, and no body was flung and lying on the ground anywhere near it. After the deputy came (and sent everyone away), we went inside and were watching/listening out the window, and apparently someone stole the car (a friend of their kids maybe?), so that would explain why they were not around----fled the scene! The electric company made the repairs to the pole. The towing company came out and dragged the car through the rest of our yard, on it's side still, until it righted itself in the shallow ditch. Yeah, yard work is going to be fun this week! So here I am, 2 1/2 hours after waking, and now I'm coughing and can't sleep! Guess the guy mustn't have been hurt too badly! I wish I had a good camera to take night shots, it would've been a great one to post!
On the unpacking front...
We've got the living room almost "done". The dining room and kitchen are getting there too. I haven't started on the kids' rooms at all yet, except for their beds. I guess that will be tomorrow's goal (between church and our meeting with the new pastor). It's so nice to have our things out of storage, it's amazing how much we take our "stuff" for granted until we don't have it. We were fortunate in the fact that we didn't lose our stuff, we just didn't have access to it for awhile. I can't imagine the feeling of the hurricane victims who lose everything, and hopefully I'll never have to experience that!
