Branch Through Window

Post contributed by Toni Jensen

I was really glad that we had decided to get home security this summer when I got a call from our service provider when we were relaxing at the beach. The alarm had detected activity and no one was answering the phone. The alarm system provider immediately called the police and had them go to our home. It turns out that there was a big storm while we were gone. The whole week was going to be filled with bad and nasty weather back home. A tree branch had been struck by lightening and fallen smack dab through our bay window in the living room in the back of the house. It immediately set off our glass break alarm and alerted the security system and the police. Because we have a high fence in our back yard, if we hadn’t had a security system, the burst window could have sat there the entire week. The rain and other debris would have gotten in the house and ruined everything in the living room. While I was really glad that someone wasn’t breaking into the house, I was even more glad that we found out about the window and fixed it before more damage could be done!

Last Football Game Of The Season

Tonight is my son's last JV Football game of the season. Tonight they head over to Clarion and I hope the come home with a victory. This season has not been a winning season for the JV team, which is very unfortunate as the varsity team is finally having a great year. I home Cole is able to have a great game and scores at least one touchdown. He is a wide receiver, he plays Y, whatever that means. It seems he is thrown to more the end of the game or when they are in a crunch. Go Indians.
