The Storm!9/25/2018 Pa Lloyd was out of town all last week so Maggie and I were alone! Maggie is terrified of storms so we were in the basement when the storm hit. My neighbor Erin knocked on my back door to check on us. When I looked out my front porch windows I couldn’t see the yard. We have one large tree on our property and two large branches had broken off and covered my yard, broke a hand rail on the front steps, and bent the eve troughs along the porch roof. What a mess! On Friday afternoon when they were done with work my daughter Mary, Scott and two grandsons, Nik and Justin came to the rescue, with a chain saw and four hours of hard work the four of them had the mess cleaned up. I was so grateful for my family’s help! I ordered Jake’s pizza and had made a dessert that day, so at least they were fed. Here is the dessert recipe I made for them. My great granddaughter Lydia cried when her serving was gone!
