Hello, it's Rose here with a quick update. This has been one hellish week! We had terrible storms in St. Louis last Wednesday, and they knocked out our power (and about 500,000 others' power) until Monday morning this week. Sue, Shirley, and I toughed it out here until Friday late afternoon when we left for Sue's house at the Lake. Chris, bless his heart, came by Thursday and took all our frozen food to keep in their freezer for us. As a result, we didn't lose a lot. Once at the lake, we just forgot it all and had a wonderful time. One special pleasure was having the opportunity to know Maddog. He is a sweetheart! Shirley and I came home Monday evening. Sue stayed and will remain at the Lake through Kids' Week next week.
