Stormy Weather

The last two days or so have been very traumatic for a Cocker Spaniel who is terrified of thunder and lightening. We have had more than our share of both.

Friends of Mom and Dad lost most of their house to the tornado Thursday night. The husband got blown off his motorcycle as he was headed home. He ended up hanging on to a tree. When he got home, his house was damaged beyond livable.

This is the third tornado to hit our general area since the end of December. Florida is not noted for tornadoes but it seems to be this year. We will all be glad when hurricane season is over.

Mom and Dad went to the hospital to visit a friend they took there yesterday. He is 93 and is not doing as well as hoped. Please remember him in your prayers. His name is Ira. Thank you.

Tomorrow is Sunday so Mom and Dad will go to the hospital again and maybe we will get our Sunday nap in the afternoon.

Mom is going back to work in October. She still can't lift anything but she promised to be careful

She is helping in a fashion show on Thursday. She will mainly be taking pictures but she will also wear one of the stores outfits so she will model one outfit. She likes to show off pretty clothes.

Her writers group has a temporary place for next months meeting. Mom liked the place last month. I hope they can work it out. It's right next door to where they were before. Big room, Lots of parking.

Today's quote is by Lydia Maria Child.

"Why should we all dress after the same fashion? The frost never paints my windows twice alike."

"What's frost?"
