My Everyday Life

Good afternoon everybody, here it is the day after Mother's day already. I had a great Mother's day. I had a scare very early in the morning from my daughter's behalf. A tornado had ripped through her town very early. Her apartment and life was spared. Thank God. It snapped off several trees and uprooted them in her yard. She was still without power last night and I haven't heard from her today.

Ken, my daughter, my son and and his wife and I all had a wonderful dinner and fellowship provided by all of us. I got some wonderful presents from all. No one wanted to have their pictures taken but my daughter insisted that she get a picture of Ken and me. So here we are.

I wanted to add some of the storm damage to the trees but Flickr will not upload for me at this time so here are a couple of flower pictures. Flickr is where I store my pictures. I went through AOL Pictures for the above picture.

Have a blessed afternoon everyone. Helen

PS to the entry. 

My daughter  just called and said that the children were not at school today but the teachers were so they let them out early. She said one of the teachers said she saw probably over 100 homes destroyed on her way to work this morning. She said her power came on about midnight last night but no cable so no phone, no computer.

  I am so glad you had such a nice Mother's Day.  I did too.  I posted pics of what I got, one thing I really, really wanted.  Hubby picked it out for me and did a great job doing so!~
  
  Have a blessed rest of the week!~

    Whenever I see on U.S.A. weather some of the terrible weather, I think of everyone that I know in that area.  THANKS FOR KEEPING US UPDATED.
    One good thing about living up here in the U.P., it is generally too cool for tornados.
