EDIT!!

Oh My Gosh!! I forgot the most important person and I feel like a heal. I would never had the power turned back on if it weren't for Kathi my dear friend. She could hear the frustration in my voice when I was on the way to Ace to buy another extension cord. And got on the computer and called in a power outage at my address. After me being on the phone while waiting on customers, (thanks to the patience of my wonderful clients on Saturday) all day trying to get the power turned back on. There's such red tape with the city. I was exhausted from just everything I've been through lately and just giving up to having no power for the weekend and knowing that I had a "cleansing" to go through on Sunday with no power. I was just over it..... She said...on NO your not. If you have to you pull the cancer card out and show it! You WILL Have power tonight!
So after the trucks pulled up at my house I burst out in tears SO thankful to see them. It reminded me of the hurricane's back when Charlie disabled my street and neighborhood.
So just want to Thank someone very special, if it weren't for her I still would be without power tonight.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all of you that came to my rescue. I owe each and everyone of you! Love you KR

Make it a great day!

We Are SO blessed!

We are SO blessed! Some of you may not know but Friday night we had a really bad lightning storm and lightning hit a branch on the huge oak tree in our back yard. It came crashing down missing my planters, house etc. It did hit the fence and crushed it to pieces. It was 68' long and 2' in dia.
That's were the luck starts. Fire dept came because we smelt smoke in the foyer. And stayed with us till one in the morning waiting on Progress Energy to get there and disconnect the power from the main transformer. The next morning called a friend that owns an electrical company in Orlando (need one I can hook you up) I had to go to Lightstyle and open the store and work to close. But in the mean time, tree guys were busy cutting the tree (for fire wood) and The electrician repaired the damages for nothing. Called the power company and they were there at 8pm to hook me back up. Blessings two and three...
Blessing four I called Bright House after discovering the cable had gotten knocked out as well. And because we have a bundle that included the phone they moved us up from Tuesday afternoon, to that day, which was on Sunday!! We thought our TV was blown because it wouldn't turn on even without cable. But with the cable hooked up it works perfect. And its all good!!! YAY!!....and the icing on the cake and blessing number five. The inspector came today to tell us we should have had a permit and and was SO nice! Said..." I can tell by your home that you are obviously good home owners. Do me a favor go down to the permitting office and get a permit and here's my card, tell them I sent you and they'll schedule me to come out and sign you off. I can see by where I'm standing all looks good". And smiled at me and said "no fines!!"
Thanks also to my wonderful neighbors, Lucy (and her girls Rita & Riley) for coming to my rescue (Kevin was gone on an all night film shoot) bringing me battery operated lanterns, fans and help getting organized. To Amy and her wonderful children McKenzie and Conlin who brought me dinner and desert! To Steve and Lori wanting to help with the generator. Oh and the electrician that got the generator running after cleaning the spark plug. Yay Nate.
When you do good ...... good comes back :~) and by the way did I mention that I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy this morning... And everything is good!!
I don't have to go back to the hospital until June for a pet scan to find out what the next course of treatments will be. I'm enjoying NOT going to the doctors at MD Anderson for the months of April and May. Just enjoying being normal for a while. Playing a lot of tennis and enjoying dinner out with friends.
Until test results....


Make it a great day! Patsy
