TORNADOS

We had a F2 tornado go down our road Thursday night. Thankfully we were not home. Our house is OK but we will need a new roof. One tree in the front yard is spit so that will have to be cut down and removed and one tree in the back yard was completely uprooted. Benny's shop was torn up pretty good too.

The kids are really pissed about one thing though. And this one thing has caused many to stop and take pictures. Remember that tree with all the wisteria in it. The wisteria is gone but something new is added. Check it out.

I guess I wont be working out on that anytime soon. Funny thing, we have NO idea how to get it down and Benny wont be back home for over 4 weeks.

I would like to add that on the same night, Mena, Arkansas was hit with a F3 tornado and destroyed. Please say a little prayer for everyone affected by this horrible storm. 3 people lost their lives and so many lost their homes.

Oh, Benny did the sweetest thing and surprised me by pulling up at home yesterday. He had taken off work for my birthday!!! Best present ever.

What? You mean you didn't have a trampoline in the tree until now? I thought everyone had that by now! Please say you have swingset in the neighbors spare bedroom!

Boy do I not miss tornado's! I lived in Texas for about 10 years. At least here, we get a weeks warning when a hurricane is a coming!
