| Estate Sale Find for a Dollar |
Gathering my thoughts about the month of May and how busy it has become, I sat in a storm shelter on Saturday saying prayers for protection as tornadoes swirled about the area we were visiting.

Earlier in the day, we ate birthday cake and sipped punch, munched on some mints with nuts. Very common Kansas reception refreshments. We left my Aunt's 90th Birthday Party celebration after giving well wishes to her then drove three hours to a Hospital where my oldest Brother is admitted.
We were told that tornadic activity was taking place and away we were ushered to the storm shelter. Spending a code red hour watching The Weather Channel broadcasting wild videos of what tornadoes can damage was a bit much. As the storm came nearer...the prayers went up. One of the young nurses did not care that others heard her say, "Oh Lord, protect my car."
It was a long trip home in the rain with lightening burning up the sky. Was so glad to spend the night at Parents safe haven.

| Son Storm Chasing |
Sunday Night more stormy weather hitting our Prairie area. One son was out storm chasing while his family took refuge in a underground storm shelter. Their part of Oklahoma was hit. He said that he was on the edge of town watching with a pit in his stomach as the destructive tornado tore through his town knowing his family was in the path of the storm. Wife's phone was not working. Gulp. I think we all slept better knowing that this storm had passed and we were safe thanking God for His protection.
SO many wanted rain because we are in a drought. The rain is here with a vengeance. I don't mind gentle rains....gentle. Hello.
OUR IRISES started to bloom! With a sigh of relief, I admire them. Some of the more beautiful things in this 'ole world.
MAY: May Day, 21 days of Bronchitis behind me, a Dance Recital to remember, a Spring Program, a Grandson graduated from Kindergarten with smiles, a Granddaughter crossed over from Elementary School to Middle School, an Estate Sale that I just happened across, 90th Birthday Party to celebrate, Hospital visit that I won't soon forget, Hiding out from Kansas Tornadoes, an Eye Appointment, School will soon be out for the School Season, our long awaited Irises started to bloom....Sweet Dreams and thoughts...the month of May is here.

Hi Deanna,
So glad to hear that you are safe from the storms - saw the destruction on the news and hope that you would be fine.
Sounds like a busy time for you and your family - good that the bronchitis is behind you.
Have a lovely week
hugs
Carolyn
Glad we were able to be there for Aunt Ann's 90th! Eventful month for sure.
