I've been trying to get through to Mom and Dad but all the phone lines seem to be down now. I got this email from Nikki though:
"The house is in much better shape than I thought it would be. Apparently, we don't have a back porch anymore, the aluminum roofing on that is gone. The roof to the shed is gone and Dad hadn't gone into the shed to check out the contents of it, but I imagine a lot of the keepsake stuff is trashed. Some shingles are gone, but the roof is still intact, no flooding happened, and no windows blew open. Thank god!! Oh and some trees fell down. Sadly, the big oak tree in the back next to the shed, with all the flower beds around it, is down and uprooted. And one of the pine trees is down."
So the house is fine and intact. Sounds like a lot of clearing and repairs to do but nothing vital has been lost. Thank goodness.

whew. I'm so glad to hear things are mostly okay. :)
me too. we have been "swamped" by the news and photos of the devistation the past few weeks and it is good to know things are ok for your mom and dad...well, as ok as it can be. i know they are looking forward to their upcoming trip to make cupcakes! i am leaving on friday and we are very excited. we won't get to see you, but give a yell if you have a free moment.
Sounds like you guys are going to have a great time at the farm. We may get to see you in Blackheath when you visit the high school. It should be the day after we move (if we ever move) and we'd love for you to pop in if you feel like it. I'll keep Elizabeth up to date with our moving plans.
