Here are pics of some of the damage we had at home. The first and last pic are of the same trees behind the shed and next to the barn. We can't get into either of the gates that lead to that pen unless we go through from the other side of the barn. Larry had just started fixing the cedar picket fence again and now I guess he gets to do it again.


This is right by the cattle guard that goes out onto the highway from Klein-Ahrens Rd. I found out this morning that one of our neighbors had to move it out of the way and there was just enough room for a car to get through.

This tree just thought it had to fall right on the fence. There is going to be a lot of clean up to do.

The outhouse in the back yard even blew over. Thank goodness we don't actually have to use it. Anyway, that has been our excitement for the week.

Wow, just think, I haven't blogged in so long and then you get way more than you need.

Here are some of the pictures from Sandfest. The workmanship is just fantastic. The details are incredible (note the "guitar strings). The expressions on some of the faces were so real looking.



The picture below is a sculpture of Jimmy Buffet. When you can tell who the person is then they are doing a wonderful job.

Look at the hands, the face, the detail of his robe. It is just the most awesome thing to watch and see.

Flowers in her hair, how about that?

Anyway, I took hundreds of pictures and this is just a small sample, but it kind of gives you an ideas of the work these people put into their work.

I am still here

Well, I was going to share pictures of Sandfest (it was fantastic once again) and some of the storm damage we had at home from the storm last night. We had lots of trees down and it looks like it cut a path about 1/2 mile wide with our house right in the middle of it. Not sure if it was a little twister or not, but it was very, very, very windy and the rain sounded like it was coming down in buckets and the lightening was nonstop. We got 2.40 inches and the stock tanks all filled up, but I had to play dodge the tree limbs on the way to work there were so many on the road. Whenever D'Lynn gets the wireless internet working in the office again I will share some pictures.
