Happy Mother's Day

I'm off work. I'm being lazy.

And later today we will meet with some of my family and take my mom out for dinner.

Tornado

As my neighbors continue to come to grips with the devastation that surrounds us I say a prayer daily, thanking God for sheltering us from the storm. My heart goes out to those who are having to face the future without their loved ones. I know homes can be replaced and I know my little town will be rebuilt.

I've seen houses I've passed so often as I traveled places around here that are just gone.

I took money to a collection point but that seems like such a small thing to do.

Ringgold

I live on the outskirts of a small southern town. Unless you are traveling along I75 and want to stop for a meal, gas or place to sleep you'd probably never know anything about it.

Well my little town has been devastated by a tornado. At least 8 dead that they have confirmed.

One of my co-workers lives on the other side of Ringgold-she's okay but her house has damage.

My heart goes out to all the people in Miss, Alabama, Tennessee, GA, VA etc.

More spring

Dogwood Winter

I guess I'm beginning to sound like my southern grandmothers. But its that "spell" of weather after it was warmed up and everyone got their spring/summer clothes out (you can go from winter to summer clothing here in a day) and it gets cold again. Then the dogwoods start to bloom.




My mom is getting better. She is in rehab. This has been a slow recovery for her. She has speech, occupational and physical therapy. Her appointment with the oncologist is next Friday (my granddaughter's birthday).
The azeleas are JUST beginning to bloom.
