March has arrived…

with a vengeance!  So many tornadoes, loss of life and property.  I am heartsick over all of this destruction.  http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/02/10561066-at-least-28-killed-in-indiana-kentucky-ohio-as-tornadoes-sweep-midwest-south

At least 28 people have been killed.  Tornadoes struck close to home for my sis in WV.  Also for my twin in Tennessee.  This is awfully early for the tornado season to be starting.  

That said it is 16 days left on the countdown to Spring.  Looking back to happier times. 

Some of my flowers from home.

I am cooking today.  I usually cook on the weekends and eat TV dinners all week.  I hope you all enjoy the day.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Thunderstorms…

all night long and it is still storming.  We are under a tornado watch until 1PM CDT.  It is 55 degrees this morning, much cooler than yesterday morning.  My family in Missouri is all safe.  Thank God for that.  I was watching the devastation from the tornado on the news last night, just sitting there crying, putting myself there, and praying for the ones who lost so much.

I am hoping that the weather fairs off for Friday.  That is the day that my daughter and I plan to visit Jim’s grave and put flowers there.  It will be a year in July since I have been there and that bothers me a lot.  Distance is the downside of my moving here.  I will take a minute to stop in and say hello to a couple of my friends that work downtown.

There is nothing new to report here today, except of course the weather.  This has been one of the worst years in history for tornadoes .

I hope you all have a wonderful day.  For Paul on vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, have a great time.  Stay safe and be happy!!

'Cut the city in half': Death toll rises to 89 in Missouri tornado

This is heartbreaking news and the death toll will undoubtedly rise as the search is continuing.  http://www.htrnews.com/article/20110523/MAN0101/305240013/Update-89-killed-Joplin-Mo-tornado?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE  This really makes me feel small this morning.  My worries seem like nothing compared to this disaster.  Nancy, I know that you are in northern MO.  Please let us know that you guys are OK.  I do have a niece that lives at Kansas City and various relatives in south central MO.  Bryce, I hope you guys are all OK.

We got thunderstorms and just a small amount of rain yesterday.  We were under a tornado warning for about an hour yesterday, the worst storm being north of us.  No damage or loss of life, thank God!   This morning it is sunny and 68 degrees right now.

My smoke/carbon monoxide detector is acting up.  I am going to have to call maintenance at 9 AM to have them come and check it again.  I really hate that.  Why does this happen on a Saturday night? 


I still can’t access Blogger dashboard through IE.  I am having no problem accessing it through Firefox or Chrome.  If any of you are having trouble with dashboard you might want to try Firefox or Chrome.

And now I need to get busy and do a bit of cleaning.  I hope you all have a great week.
