Five Minute Friday

START.

.

Mother Nature has been busy this spring. I'd be wishing for summer, but I'm a little concerned about what hurricane season will look like! I wanted to say thanks again for everyone who has been thinking and praying for us.

The water has receded enough to get out of the lake house. There is a big, well more like huge, mess but upon first look the structure looks ok. They are going in by boat to start a long process of clean up.

.

My parents dodged a bullet and water didn't make it to their house. A lot of water made it all around them and many people lost everything. The water is still really high behind the levees, way above flood stage, but so far the levees are doing their job.

.

My grandmother moved back to her nursing home yesterday. This might have been the most stressful situation of all but she is settled back in.

.

We are tired, really tired, of tornadoes. We are thankful, really thankful, that there has only been potential for severe weather here (way too much time in the bathroom - aka the storm shelter). But, we are sad, really sad, about all the destruction that has happened all around us. Keep praying for all those whose worlds have been turned upside down. And maybe look into making a donation to the Red Cross because they have to be stretched thin right about now.

STOP.
