Dad's latest adventure

I think you all knew that dad has been fixing a little trailer up to take up to Blackrock to get out of the heat. He hasn't spent a fotune, but has put a little money and a lot of time into it. He finally got everything running and got it looking real cute and he took it up to Blackrock yesterday morning. He came back about 3:00 yesterday afternoon and looked down Blackrock way to see a fire burning. Lightening started the fire. Long story short, he and Darrell were out there until late last night, but were unable to get in to save the trailer or to check Darrell's property. . Dad lost the trailer, plus everything in it, a fresh supply of food, a generator, a chain saw, gasoline containers, some chairs, and various things we haven't thought of yet. We are just sick and I feel so bad for him! Darrell doesn't know what the damages are to his place, but best case scenario he has lost losts of fences and pasture land and he may have lost his cabin and his cattle. They are going to try to get into there this afternoon, but they still may not be able to.

That's my cheery news -

Mom
