On a summer Sunday 6 years ago, the DH and I were at the lake, as usual. The weather was unsettled, which wasn't a surprise in July and we weren't particularly worried, as we were invited to a gathering at a friend's farm. We left the cabin at noon and when we arrived at the party, we were horrified to find our friends glued to the weather channel---a tornado was spotted over our lake. We later discovered that the tornado hit our cabin at 2 o'clock (that's when the clocks stopped) and destroyed the back portion of the building and sent the roof into the park. Of course, we were overwhelmed at first, but the DH called his carpenter friend and they proceeded to rebuild it. Within a couple of months, we had new rooms on the back and the rest of it was upgraded as well. Many thanks to an ambitious husband, a talented friend, family members and the insurance company. Sometimes a tragedy can become a blessing.
