Guardian Angels

It has been an interesting two weeks.  If I did not believe in guardian angels before (I did), I really do now.

First, we had a hail storm.  I recovered a two-inch piece of hail from our yard, and after the storm we began to assess the damage.  Our car had a lot of dents, and we worried about our roof.  Before we went to the cabin for Memorial Day, we were told our car is totaled, though the insurance company has not confirmed that.  On Monday, the tenth, we found out our roof is fine.  Everyone else around us had severely damaged roofs, but we got lucky.  Thank you, Guardian Angel.

Coming home from New Mexico, while Diana was dodging tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kenneth was evading them in Illinois, we were keeping track of the fire in the Pecos.  It was a tense few days, and the news was scary, but by the end, the cabin was left standing, although the fire came within about 20 feet.  The kids got home without incident, as did we.  Thank you, Guardian Angel.

On Monday, June 10th, Don began to work on the RV for our impending trip to Alaska.  He noticed a stick behind the generator.  Reaching up to extract it, he pulled out another, and another, and another . . . and then feathers and other things.  A bird's nest.  Behind the generator where, if we had run it, it could have caught on fire.  And if it had caught on fire, it would have incinerated the tube leading to the gas tank . . . which would have incinerated us!  Extra special thank you, Guardian Angel!

Hoping we do not have to call on our Guardian Angel again for a long time!
