Wow it's been a LONG week

Well, there we thought the aftermath of Hurricane Ike was over but it wasn't to be. We lost electricity AGAIN!!! A tree had fallen on an electrical line and it finally pulled the line all the way to the ground and shorted out the electricity. So we lost our electricity for almost two days. We were able to get the FEMA meals, water, and ice that was being handed out. This made Kayla very happy. The meals aren't too bad. The ones we got from town had three meals in a box. You got cereal and box milk for breakfast, a can entree (Dinty Moore Beef Stew and etc) or something like canned chicken salad etc., crackers, and the same for supper. They also had small can of Pringle chips, a cereal bar, a small package of sunflower seeds, 3 small containers of peaches, a small container of pudding and a bag of cookies. Then the meals we got from the church were the military MRE's, which is just one meal per bag. I believe Kayla got a chicken breast, Doug got chili and I got beef stew. But I'm going to trade my beef stew for one of my mother-in-law's chicken fajitas. But I like the cherry/blueberry cobbler that came in mine so I'm not going to give the whole bag to her to swap out. LOL She ended up getting two cases of MRE's because they are still without electricity. And our shop is still without electricity so it makes it hard for Doug to get much work done.
One neat thing about our place after the storm--We sold our old trailer a good while back (like before the storm) but the people weren't able to get it moved until after the storm. Well it left Wednesday and when they moved it out--it left a lot of the old insulation on the ground along with a lot of wood and junk. It actually looks like maybe a tornado came through and totally destroyed our home. If it wasn't for our new manufactured home just sitting off to the side of it. I told Kayla it would be funny if FEMA came by and thought that had happened. I hope to get a picture and get it posted.
