Just to keep you all up to date we have been having some lightning problems....to say the least. First the lightning hit my computer in Ocala (which they say is the Lightning Capitol of the United States). I could not turn my computer on at all. So we called the City Advantage guys and they were going to send a box for me to send my computer in for repair to the Augusta address. That meant we needed to return early to Augusta. When we got home the box was waiting for us on the front porch. Long story short; I sent it to California and they replaced the entire System Board and returned it to me in about two weeks...and I did not lose any files or pictures!!! Cost Zero Dollars, getting my computer back and working, PRICELESS!! While it was gone I had to go to the library every day because I do everything by computer, banking, pay bills, e-mail, and keep in touch with the rest of the world.
Then....the Saturday before I got my computer back on Monday.....lightning struck again, this time in Augusta. We lost, the big TV (50 inch); the little TV (13 inch), the phone system, the entire alarm system, the coffeemaker, and the socket the coffeemaker was plugged into. Jimmy spent the whole next week getting electricians, the alarm folks, the telephone folks, etc together so they could verify what was lost due to lightning. We had the complete alarm system replaced, and we replaced the coffeemaker. It seems Mr. Coffee does not make the one we had any longer so we had to get another type. We also replaced both TVs, which we upgraded from what we had before.
Well, we are about back to normal again and looking forward to Sean visiting this weekend. Oh yes, he will also bring his parents, Dawn and David.
