Short Note from Susan

Since the last blog I wrote, I was caught in a tremendous thunderstorm with eight year old daughter, Rachel. We were unable to get home, as mud slides and houses falling into the local highway forced roads to close. We were alright, but have since suffered two more storms producing mass amounts of rain which have washed away our fences, some pastures, and done great damage to our home. It forced the delay of our much-needed vacation. Thankfully we are all alright and the horses and animals are all safe despite a flood which roared up over our creek banks and came into the lower arena. Craig tied himself to the four-wheeler in the middle of the night to evacuate and bring to higher ground the horses in that area. All are fine thanks to him! We are in the midst of putting fences back up and if you would like to help please let us know as we would welcome any type of support. I will send pictures very soon. Our hearts are with Heather, as she lost her beloved Zerkel Toden this past week. Will send pictures soon.
