(Today's regular feature, Monday Meet & Greet, has been pre-empted by a severe storm that knocked out power to Teri's home. Apparently she and her neighbors may be in the dark for up to three days! Please keep all affected by the storm, and those working to restore services, in your prayers. Meet and Greet will return next week, "if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise" as my grandmother would say.)
Boo, hiss! It turns out I can't go this year. Our diocesan council, including the election of a new Bishop Suffragan and required attendance at a committee on which I serve, is at the same time. Have a pink drink with a little umbrella in it and think of me in a huge meeting room drinking weak coffee....
ReplyDeleteThank you, MB. I'm sorry I couldn't get in to do the meet-n-greet! My power has been restored after only 26 and a half hours--thankfully not the three days originally predicted--though there are still many people in town without power, some of whom are on wells so they also have no water. It's quite the clean-up going on over here, with trees, power lines, and crops all damaged/torn up/blown over/ripped out of the ground, plus it was trash day in the most severely hit part of town so there's garbage and recycling everywhere, and damage to homes. The oaks near our lake are severely damaged--I don't know what it will look like when it's all cleaned up, but right now it looks like there's been a hurricane. When I was watching the storm out my window, that's what it looked like too, with horizontal rain and all kinds of things hurtling through the air and being whipped around. crazy! I haven't heard that anyone was hurt, so I hope everyone's okay.
ReplyDeleteI'll bring the meet-n-greet next week!
