We had big storms the other day.
Maybe a record tornado.

The usual stories.
Ten killed in Yazoo City.

Mother threw three small kids under a mattress, two to five years old.
Then laid on top of it.
House was picked up and dropped fifty yards away.
The children made it.

Think we're skipping spring this year and going straight from winter to summer. Some white stuff floating in the air and I don't think it's flower petals.

I may have said this before, but it's interesting that this is in some ways for me the best sub-forum, but it's also the one in which I skip the most threads.

I fear for my flowers and plants that are just coming up......dang.

Hey there GH.
I'm glad you got there and back safely.....it was great seeing you.

Yes, I'm trying to think of how to deal with the MV.......

Its kinda like "Cheers" you can skip a day and still find all the same friends on the barstools!

Good morning!
I still feel sore, but I think Im beating it by just continuing to work out in the yard. Hard work even!

I forgot to take a picture yesterday of mangle carport before we took whats left of it apart.dammitt bill.

I dont know why I forget to take pictures of stuff???

Looks like We may indeed get them pavers in after all.
We have a very hard working friend(more like a SIL) That came over yesterday to help out.
I always laff cause when he comes to help out, we all just kinda drabble compared to his efforts...geeze that kid has more energy then any one person Ive seen.

So YAY, Im planning a Potluck BBQ for Mom's day may 9th. I love love love to hang in my back yard with good food and family and friends! That my kinda mom's day!

So I will again dust myself off and get out there and kick ass!

Moving and replanting sod in the snow yesterday was funny.

we worked from noonish till 4pm'ish...non-stop! Oh hell yeah my muscles and back were screaming.
But I have a theory that basically Im doing all the things a occupational therapist would have me doing in a stupid rehab gym.

So hot damn....where the hell did April go....anyone see it, man that month just flew by....if may,june and july are anything like April Im in trouble!
