Columbus, Ohio
Greetings,
We have been in Columbus since Sunday, the 7th of September. John's son John and his family are here so we came for a visit.
On Sunday, September 14th we were in our RV watching the NASCAR race and all of a sudden the winds began to pick up. It seems that the remnants of Hurricane IKE were passing through the area. I thought that we had left Florida to get away from the hurricanes and they are following us!!!! We lost power during the storm due to the high winds. As you can see from the photos, a large tree went down right across several RV sites. Thank goodness that no one was in those sites for they would have been in a world of hurt. We were without power in the RV park until early Wednesday morning, the day we left to head down to Renfro Valley, Kentucky. We were lucky as that we have a generator and had power to cook, take showers and watch TV.
We have been having a great time with John's son John, wife Aimee and two grandchildren, John, age 5 and Morgan 3. More on them in the next blog!
I can hardly believe how fast the summer has gone bye! Here it is September and we will be back home early next month. John is already looking forward to where we want to travel to next summer.
Hope all is well with everyone, we love and miss you all. More later,
Until then,
Candy and Johnny
