We made the trip to and from the lake safely.

The insurance adjuster has been out, and the roof has been repaired. They did a very thorough job, and since the shingles are only a year old, they matched them exactly. It looks like it never happened. So lucky to find these guys that were so good and so quick.

The floors have new waterproof LVT on them. It looks as if we are not going to have a problem with them. So far, there is no buckling of the sub-floors or peeling. We did lose the TV, the TV stand/fireplace/heater, and a brand new end table that we had just bought less than a week before the storm. The insurance paid for all of that. Luckily, the sofa and loveseat didn't get wet. We are happy with what they paid for all of those things. However, the ceiling is in decorative acoustic tiles, and they only paid for the ones that got wet and fell or were damaged. Of course, as luck would have it, they are discontinued, and we can't match them. The adjuster had turned in for the whole room to be re-tiled for that reason, but insurance said no. We plan to move a wall in there later, maybe sooner now, so it will have to all be redone anyway, so I am not very mad about it.

We met a man up there who has had his house completely updated. He has helped us hire many workers from out of town. Neighbors are still waiting for the locals to do things from last year. So grateful to have met this guy.

The teenager who mows for us at the lake. He has been saving for a truck when he turns 16. He did it last year and is doing it again this year. He does a better job than many professional companies we have tried to use here in the past.

I came home to all my red roses blooming for all they're worth. They are so pretty! The other colors have not come in yet. My clematis that don't usually bloom this long are still in bloom. It is beautiful out my window beside my computer.
