The only other problem!!!!!

We had made plans to go the mountains, but sometime during the night Friday, lightning hit at the storage buildings and blew out our digi-gate so our electric gate would not open. We never saw the storm, I'm not even sure there was one, all I know is that our serge protector was fried, but at least the office didn't burn down. The only problem with our gate going down is you have to manually open and shut it, so there is no way to call all 90 of our customers to ask if they would need to get in to their units over the holiday weekend. The only other problem was no gate companies are working until Tuesday, I sent e-mails to the out-of-town owners, called every number I had but still no help. The only other problem was Joey and I were suppose to go the the mountains to work and enjoy the weekend away from the place. I need to get out of dodge for a few days...Instead we have had to regroup, we worked on the gate till about lunch to no avail, left note on key pad for customers to call if they needed help. Instead we went to the movies with my sister and niece, Taylor was so excited to sit next to her Uncle Joey. We saw Prince of Persia, then can home cleaned up and we to MadHouse (Bowman Gray Stadium) to see Audrey's boyfriend (Wesley) race.. Got home about midnight. Then today we drove to the mountains and left Audrey in charge for the day, mowed the yard twice( grass grows fast up there) and 4 hrs later hit the road home. Tomorrow we have decided to stay around the storage unit and clean, mow, and work in the garden I have planted over there. I received a call from the gate people and they are coming tomorrow and hopefully they can fix it and it won't cost us a arm and leg to come in on Memorial Day. The only other problem I have is that thank goodness we can have all these problem, but we have the freedom to fix them, and the opportunity to have fun at the same time....Thank you to all who serve and have served our country your are very much appreciated in our home.......
