Okay, let me explain. I was sitting at the computer this evening working on the RS Newsletter and I could hear the wind outside just going nuts. It even scared Kobe. I thought I heard noises of the garbage cans being blown around so no big deal. Then sweet Heather Hardle calls me to tell me that our basketball stand/hoop has blown over and into Mallory's back window. Oh, so that was the loud noise I heard. Not the garbage cans like I thought. So I went outside to check out the scene and yep, the back window had a basketball hoop stuck in it and the window was shattered. Meanwhile, my whole family is away. Cameron is at Scout Camp and Troy and Mallory are in Logan doing the MS Bike ride and Michael took the boat up to Bear Lake. So, I am home alone and thinking what can I do? So, I tried to call our great friends the Rigby's and they weren't home so I called our other dear friends the Schroephers. Justin was more than happy to come down and help me take care of it. He was so incredibly helpful that it made me want to cry. He was just so sweet about it. He pulled the hoop out and we both wondered how Michael's car wasn't even scratched by the ordeal because his car was right next to Mallory's. He didn't even get a scratch. Anyway, I was very worried about Mallory's car getting all wet inside because of the rain, but good ole handy Justin, moved things out of the way in the garage and was able to pull Mallory's car into the garage. Then he proceeded to shop vac the glass out of the back of Mallory's car. He went totally beyond the call of duty. We are so blessed to have such good friends. Ones that I can just make a phone call and know that they would do whatever it took to help me. So, bless you Justin for saving me from this because there was no way I could have physically done what he did. You have earned bonus blessings tonight. I would have taken pictures, but unfortunately, I LOST MY CAMERA IN SOUTH CAROLINA! So, I am little bugged about that. So that was my evening. I hope the rest of you were able to weather the storm without any mishap.

OKAY....HERE ARE THE PICTURES....SHEESH!
Thanks to my "nagging" daughter I am finally getting around to adding pictures from our trip. But sadly, I lost my camera while in South Carolina so I had to wait for Mallory to get these pictures downloaded. I had some really cute ones on my camera too. Oh well. Sniff, Sniff. I'm too old to remember exactly what pictures I had on there so I guess it's no big loss except for the camera itself. Enjoy these few pictures of Mallory and I in SC. Remember, I was sick and so these aren't the best of me.
best place in SC to get them!
My sweet Mallory always happy! I look sick and
ready to go to bed.
"Five Guys, Burgers and Fries" Awesome!
for Five guys! (He ate paint chips as a child)
If any of us kids ever got lost, we knew to
meet our parents at "The Rocket".
Beautiful Mallory

WE'RE BACK FROM SC
It was a nice trip but I wish I could say that I really enjoyed it. I was sick the whole time with a cough, runny nose, and sore throat. I swear I just went through this a month or so ago. But it hit me again. I didn't dare get too close to my Dad because I didn't want him to get sick. He isn't feeling very well anyway. But the wedding reception was nice. Myrtle Beach was awesome and the plane ride home sucked! Having to be sick was bad enough but our connecting flight out of Cincinnati was schedule to leave at 8:00 p.m. but was delayed until 11:00. p.m. NOOOO! My body was saying. But we were given 2 $7.00 food vouchers for our inconvenience. We used one of them for cinnamon rolls and were going to get more food later. But did we know that everything was going to close at 8:00? NO! So, we lost out on more food. Oh well, just get me on the airplane and get me home. Then a small bit of good luck. They changed the departure time to 10:00 p.m. instead of 11. Yay! However, before we actually took off it was way after 10:30. We did have an inflight movie. "He's just not that in to you". I haven't seen it before so that was nice. It helped the flight to go by a little faster. Then sweet Michael picked us up at the airport at 1:00 a.m. I couldn't wait to get myself into my own bed to die. (That is how I felt) I am still sick but hopefully this stuff is on it's way out. I really am tired of being sick. Anyway, that's my story. I'll add some pictures later. It's good be home.

SOUTH CAROLINA HERE WE COME!
Mallory and I are leaving tomorrow for South Carolina to attend my niece's (Whitney) wedding reception. Mallory is her maid of honor so we thought it would be fun to have a Mother/Daughter trip and do this. Can't wait to see my Daddy too. He hasn't been feeling well so I am anxious to see him. Bye ya'll!
