A few weeks ago we had a "freight train" come through and my DD and SIL's kids huge trampoline left for another planet. It ended up clear down to the end of the runway and it did not even resemble what you had left. It was totaled. The hot tub cover came unsnapped and went for a trip, like a flying saucer, but it hit a treeline and stopped, still usable when retrieved. It was a scary night, but they were in town and missed the whole thing, got home after dark and had no idea of what happened when they got up the next morning and saw the misplaced and missing items.

We have had winds for months in El Paso - nearly every day at least 40 mph and many days with 60-70 miles and 116 days without rain. But I'm thankful for this with the bad weather and storms in the mid west. I'm keeping them in my prayers and praying for rain in Texas - the farmers and ranchers are having a diffcult time - and that means higher prices soon!
