Sunny skies are here again
As devastating as the tornado was, the experience once again proved that even Nature’s fury is no match for families and friends tackling things together as a team! Yup, our dear little store is pretty much back to normal, thanks to everyone pitching in and to the relief of loyal customers near and far. 
Of course, Will and Peter are beyond exhausted at this point… they worked day and night, side by side, nail by nail. Repairing the roof was a race against time, but I’m pleased to report that at least the weather was on our side this time: It didn’t rain until they’d hammered in the very last shingle…
Another pleasant surprise? Safi’s boyfriend David stepped in to help. Not only is the kid a natural with a hammer, but he’s got pretty good instincts about how to win over a teenage girl’s suspicious father, too
David really is a great match for our Safi – he’s steady, he’s funny and he’s got a good head on his shoulders. By the end of the first day, Will had already invited him to Christmas dinner!
And what about me?
Well, to be honest, dear friends, I’ve been running on adrenaline all week and I have that nervous feeling I get when I’m about to crash. It’s not just the physical exhaustion… emotionally, I feel a bit fragile, too. Like something’s been bugging me, like something’s still missing from my life, but I can’t quite put my finger on what that may be. I think I’ll try talking to Grettle about it. She always knows how to get to the truth.
As much as I’d love to fill you in on all the rest right now, I think I’m gonna go get my guitar and just play for a while instead. The evening is unseasonably warm and the porch swing is beckoning…
G’nite!
