  I caulked the holes left from the shower door today. That is all I did remodeling wise. Tomorrow I plan on putting the last coat of paint on the tiles and then that portion of the bathroom is done. Then we will move on to painting the walls. I found a tension rod online today that will fit our stall and I am watching a sage & white gingham print shower curtain on eBay. I also found tandem hooks to hold the curtain and the liner. It's coming along slowly but surely.
I finally was able to sit down and finish my bible study lesson today. This was the first of the intermediate lessons and they take much longer to do than the other ones. I do like doing them though because it gets me in the routine of focusing in the Word of God each day. I have had quite a few people commenting on my other site that my posts bring them encouragement and that they enjoy reading them each day. It's funny how God works through people. I was tossing around whether I wanted to keep doing posts daily and then come the flow of encouragement for me! I love it when you recognize God speaking to you. I went to pick up the kids for 12:45. Blake wanted to drive his car so I left mine up there and we went to Donna's to drop of some pictures from our sisters night the other week. Then the kids tried to talk her into going out for lunch but she was into working in the garden and didn't want to shower. I had no money so I told them if they wanted to eat out they would have to pay. Believe it or not they still wanted to go and so we went to Friendly's and the kids picked up the tab! It was great! After Friendly's we stopped in with Daddy to pay some bills and then the storm hit.
It came on quick and the wind really picked up but I really didn't think it was all that bad, at first. We lost power and then the fire sirens started going off. We waited it out for another half hour or so and then left to go home. We only got about 2 miles and had to turn back. There were trees and wires down every direction we tried to go. We got back to dad's and Donna called and said that a tornado touched down just outside of town.
The kids just wanted to go back to their place because we couldn't make it to my house and everyone else was out of power. They live north of all the storm damage so they went home around 4. I tried to go back home again and finally made it but had to go almost 10 miles out of the way to get there.
Donna, Mike & I were on the cell phones keeping each other updated as to what was going on. Till it was all said and done a whole development on the outskirts of town was wiped out. Twelve houses were completely leveled and most of the others had missing roofs & second floors. Nothing like that has ever happened in this area before,.It reminded me of damage you see in the Midwest from a tornado. We even made the Nightly News with Brian Williams!Last I heard there were about 100 or so displaced people.
16 were injured and only one of them seriously. That is amazing after looking at the damage. Thank God it happened mid day when most were still at work or it would have been much worse I am sure. Michael is in the shower and I am on here playing around. I told him it was time to work on the facial hair. He was starting to get a bit wild looking. Well that was my exciting day now I am ready for a hot cup of joe and then to bed I go.
