Try Again, Shall We?

Last weekend Debra and I were both supposed to speak at our church in Shelburne: Deb had the ladies meeting on Saturday and I had the Sunday service the next day. I ended up speaking as scheduled but because of the nasty weather on Friday and Saturday the ladies meeting was canceled. All we had here in Durham was a lot of wind but the Shelburne area seemed to be hit quite a bit worse. Mom and Dad had no power for two days and their car narrowly missed being nailed by a falling tree. We were in Shelburne on Sunday and on a drive that afternoon Deb and I saw many houses with huge amounts of damage from fallen trees. It brought back memories of the ice storm of 1998. Mom’s car was stuck under a tangled web of branches and fallen powerlines for most of friday which precipitated this message we found on our answering machine:

The weather looks like its going to cooperate so tomorrow the ladies are going to try and meet again. We’ll see!

On this day..
