It was in the 20s overnight and this am we woke to sleet/snow. Around 10 am it was 32 and by 11 am it was up to 34.

Brrrr!!!

2010 has come along with cold weather. Lows have been in the 20's and 30's and highs in the 40's and 50's since the 1st. There is the possibility of snow flurries today!

Back to School

Well, we've been back to school for two days since having a day off for Fay. The weather the past two days has been worse than the day we had off. Oh Well!!! We did not end up going out to Andy's to help get things cleaned up. Their next door neighbor has two teenage boys and they helped Hannah get things cleaned up, plus Andy took off work early too. We had a big happy family at our house Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday. Right now different areas of the state are under flash flood warnings and Fay is slowly moving back across the state above where we are. I must say we are getting our much needed rain to help alleviate some of the drought.

God Takes Care of His Own!

I'm sure most of you heard about the storms that went through North Central Florida on February 2. One of the tornadoes did a lot of damage in the town of Lady Lake. Many homes and businesses were destroyed. One of the places that was totally destroyed was the Lady Lake Church of God. Not far away from that church is the Lady Lake Allegheny Wesleyan Church. The tornado went down the road that the Lady Lake AWC church is on and damaged the properties on either side of the church but no damage was done on the property of the Lady Lake AWC church. It was like God picked up the tornado on one side of the property and set it down on the other side of the church property. We had wondered if there had been any damage from the storm at the church and when I heard the good news I said, " That shows God's hand at work!" To view pictures of the storm click here.
