Let's Stomp Today
Thursday started with a slightly new twist on the day. The weather started to return to Oklahoma normal it was windy and starting to turn colder. Today's high was 55. The wind in Oklahoma is strong and constant which made today an Orange sweatshirt day! The first two stops of the day were for us to see the types of storm shelters that Samaritan's Purse installs. In the houses they build from the ground up they get an internal safe room where the homeowners can go if another tornado warning sounds. The other is an in-ground shelter for those houses that just need repairs and do not have an internal room.
When we got to the house it was mainly an outside work day. We broke into work groups and started. Some planted the plants bought for the new home, And they also went with Miss Georgia to her destroyed house to dig up some of her favorite plant to be planted at her new home.
Others started putting in the yard. Some spread peat moss and grass seed while others laid sod in the front of the house. This is were we had some fun because after you lay the sod you need to make sure it is firmly in contact with the ground. So we gathered together and you guessed it... a stomp party ensued.
The final group installed a new stepping stone side walk to the front porch. This path leads to a wonderful warm and inviting front entrance to a new start for Miss Georgia. We love to see this new life coming out of the devastation from the storm. --Garth Johnston
