It has been more exciting than one can stand with all the tornadoes in the Midwest. It started with hitting nearby states and I had to call and check on friends. The othe day the weather people where calling this the perfect storm for tornados to erupt. They were right and our area of the country got hit pretty hard. This time we were spared with only 1 tree down as opposted to 1999 where we had lots of damage. My heart still goes out and mourns for those as I know what they are going through. The power went out and we stationed observers on front and back porch and at different times saw 4 tornados tht we could see and fortunately they all lifted or went differrent directions. Still our city was hit and we joined the growing list of places hit hard this Spring. We finally got some rain and our pond is finally full. Work is good and slowly growing and got to spend some lake time over the Memorial day Holiday. Still taking a lot of suppliments and trying hard to take care of myself. Family is good and one daugher to get married this summer. Thanks for protecting prayers they are working. jim and linda
