David and I took a ride to see one area touched by the tornado last night. It’s just down 441 a mile or two. Joey and Meagan S. Drago were surrounded by downed trees, but their house seems to be just fine. Most of the trees seem to have fallen on fences, so there will be some cleaning up and repairing in the next few days. Thankfully, that seems to be the extent of the damage near us.
While out, we stopped at Sherry Day‘s house to leave something. She came out and sat and visited for a while. She is doing so much better than anyone had even hoped for. I would like to take her around for “show and tell” today as an example of God’s might work this week.
