June 1st 2011.....along comes a tornado. I wasn't home at the time

"Thanks to whoever"

I know about being lucky..like hitting a deer with a motorcycle and walking away with a bump on your elbow lucky.

It's just not my time to go yet?

I was swimming in another part of the state with my dog, while the tornado wiped out my 4 acres.I may of lost everything...but the tornado did leave me with over $17,000 worth of fire wood :-) Only after you have lost everything,are you free to do anything.

It's all gone...but I already have a plan to replace what was lost

I always manage to rise again :-) I wanted to build a house for under $1000 cash,use recycled materials when and where ever I could and heat the place with wood. The cabin was 11ft wide by 16ft long after the addition of the kitchen and walk in closet, and it was wired for both AC and DC current.

Standing in those back woods when I was 8 years old,I remember saying I was going to build a cabin and live in it....and that's exactly what I did.

Since the house is on fire let us warm ourselves "Italian proverb"
