These are four of the six Canadian men who were at my house this afternoon. Oh sorry, they were at my hoose.
They came for a visit because Hurricane Ike decided to go a little off course and do this to my Ohio backyard. Yes Canucks, those are maple leaves.
And, after one full week without electricity those wonderful fellows from the country up north made it possible for me to not have to pee in the dark anymore. Thank you, Canada, for sending us your finest. I’ll never understand how you take the cold weather or how you can stand to eat moose meat…but, at the very least I promise to never cross the border and complain about your insane sales taxes again.

Glad you’ve got power back! Hopefully it doesn’t take too much work to get your backyard cleaned up. Yikes. Glad you’re okay!!

So glad you finally got your power back.
And I hope that those Canucks represented my fine country properly. And were hot. Cuz hotness is important.

Smooches, friend.

Wow. I will never look at a Canadian the same….I have no idea what that means.
Glad you are getting back to normal.

So glad you have light! And, hello neighbor. I had no idea you were just a wee bit south of me (in MI). We got Ike’s rain but not the wind. Looks like we had it lucky.

How cool is that that they came and did that! Sorry about that maple, though; I bet its colors were gorgeous in autumn.

Yay for not peeing in the dark! (And why did this problem require Cannucks again? Think I missed that post…)
Ali
canadians are awesome.
that is all 😉
Heather
Oh wow! We got crews in from a couple other places too, and I think (not positive) almost all of the power is back on, except a few people who had damage they have to fix themselves, that the power company isn’t responsible for.

Canadian workman don’t have plumber’s crack? Whouda thunk it?
Stacey @Real World Mom

Whenever we lose our electricity, which is usually during a hot summer and too many ACs blaring, I wonder the house like an idiot flipping switches, grabbing the remote.
Are Ben Franklin and Tom Edison not two great Americans?
And Canadians with chainsaws! Awesome. Send ’em my way please.
Jaina
How neat, I’m so glad you got the help you needed and that things can progress their way back to normal.

Oh how “fun” for you. Ike paid you a visit! We got Hanna here in PA. I don’t like monsoons; I’m glad she left quickly and without dropping a tree on me.
Glad you’re all modern again with lights and stuff. 🙂

Don’t you feel special? Canadian men and a Texas hurricane. The party’s going on at your place!
BTW, love how you snuck that photo of them when they were leaving. hehe
Bad Momma
Now you know what it's like to be Amish!
I can't imagine a week without power. Fortunately our neighborhood is on a new power grid & we only lost power for a few seconds at a time. We also lost a much smaller section of fence to a smaller tree limb. I feel lucky.
Who would of thunk we could get a Hurricane in Ohio????
Lane Boyz Mom
Glad you got your power back, damn Ike, huh? LOL
Jo Beaufoix
Oh, lovely men. Ike was certainly a busy boy wasn’t he? Glad you ad a good time on the Yodka though. Yum.
nola
Oy! Hey, at least you had cute Cannucks!!
reen
Woo hoo for hot Canuck worker guys! Too bad about your lovely maple tree and fence. It looks as though it narrowly missed the house, yikes. We told Ike to take a right, not a left! Sorry, and greetings from Texas!
