Sad day in Columbus.....



Well, we had a sad day today....Molly's toy (green and white stuffed dog bone) suffered a major injury in that about half of the stuffing is now gone and her toy is now in serious intensive care. I am sure that within the next few days, the toy will officially have to be laid to rest as no major life saving feats can realistically be made.

I know that this will greatly sadden Hayden and Rosie, Molly's former house mates, but alas, another toy will be in the picture soon I am sure. Besides, Hayden and Rosie now have a totally cool toy called Tessa, the Oneder child as she just turned 1 and is a pez dispenser for dogs! HA! Sorry, it's kinda late for me and I am a bit tired!

Well, I have some pictures to share of the recent injury....

She really always has this sad, yet satisfied look on her face when she does this to a toy!
Seemed to be a pretty good team effort between Chloe and Molly, huh?

Not to undermine the seriousness of what is facing everyone affected by the flooding in Indiana, but hopefully this brings a smile to your face! Good night!

Okay in Columbus

We just wanted to let our faithful few know that we are okay in Columbus. We were not in the areas affected by the flooding, close, but no problems here. We did loose power last night about 9:30ish and it came on about 4am. I ended up sleeping part of the night outside in our hammock and Scott made a makeshift bed on the deck and had some company with the dogs.

We have power today (Sunday) but no cable and we are being cautious about using water and just doing the bottled water thing.

We got out very briefly yesterday and we are pretty much an "island in Columbus" as we are trapped by all of the closed roads and flooded areas at this point.

Please keep neighbors, friends, and those further south in your thoughts and prayers as it sounds like the worse for them is yet to come.

Weather excitement




I hope that everyone has made it through all of the storms this past week! We are okay here in Columbus, no damage to our home, just a few limbs out of our trees.

I worked last Saturday and the damage from the storms last Friday night was very evident as I drove north on Meridian. There were a lot of down trees and limbs, stop lights not working, and part of Meridian Street was completely flooded. As I drove I just continued praying that my car didn't stall out!

Camp Attebury was hit hard by the tornado that touched down on Tuesday and we lost power at the house on Wednesday night.

I have some pictures from our local paper of the damages. Hope you all are doing well, and I will try to post more exciting topics later!
