I REALLY DO LOVE WEATHER

Thanks y'all =)

Sorry, I know the photo is blurry, but he is a tornado! haha

And sorry to whoever is trying to mail me...I can't get into the mail =(

I mentioned it UncleMush =)

Thanks Aub =)

Good morning Skye and FMG!

Hope everyone is well on this day of remembrance. I heard someone say we are losing 1500 WWII veterens every day. I don't know if that is accurate, but I think we all realize we are losing them. Bless them.

@Skye, you are right on with the focusing thing! If it interests him, he is like a sponge!

Hi Airman, hi BF!

Thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it.

Yes, I am still in Texas, just a smaller section of it. Not tiny, but somewhere between a shotgun shack and a mansion =D haha.

The tornado was surprisingly easy to make. The fun part was finding just the right debris. It's hard to see, but there is a tractor, a fuel tanker, a girl carrying a basket of eggs, a cow, and Ford Pinto, among other bits of twigs and dirt.

Waiting on the cold front today, and hoping for some thunderstorm action!

How about those Houston Texans??? 11-1! Whoooo Hooooo!

To whoever is trying to send me mail, I can't access the mail, sorry.

Good morning!

Our cold snap has officially ended. Sure is easier to get in the holiday spirit when it's cold. Rain is coming in, and hopefully we will get another good cold front =)

Nice to see you as well.

Hit and run comment.....hmmmmmm, where have I heard that before?

Gator- I don't know how to wrap my brain around this horrible tragedy, and all we can do is pray. Thanks =)

Downsizing has been a blessing;several blessings really. I thought leaving the house would be hard, but so many of my memories involved my Dad, and that is also where he fell and broke his neck, which led to his dying. I was happy to leave that behind.

Good morning to all,

Friday, when I picked Howie up from school, there were three police officers present. I assume just to put people at ease. Howie is home from school today with tummy troubles. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the events in Ct., as I did not go into a big discussion with him about it. I thought talking about it too much would frighten him.

I am interested to know if anyone else has fears about sending their children to school. And how your children are dealing with it.

I still am having a problem even believing this horrid thing happened.

NEwxguy, you pretty much summed it up. I recall feeling much the same when the Columbine shooting occurred. I had children closer to that age at the time.

As it turns out, Howie had some tummy issues yesterday and stayed home from school. I did not expose him to all the media coverage over the weekend, yet he did come to me and tell me a lot of kids died. Whether his tummy trouble was due to stress, I don't know. He is off to school this morning, and I do feel some fear, but I trust God is in control, whatever the situation.
