Good morning all. After severe storms in my area all night, I am back online this morning. We had Quite the lightening storm and rain, but were spared the high winds that did damage in so many areas. Our tornado siren went off a little after 7 PM, sending us to our "safe Place". We were more or less confined there til 8 PM. My daughter who lives near Cedar Rapids had after work appts in Iowa City and came to my place rather than try to drive home. I was glad of that as she would have been heading into the storms. She stayed overnight with me and though the thunder boomers kept us both awake, we were safe and dry.
Just a few days ago my area was in drought conditions and now we have had between 6-7 " of rain.
Praise God for the moisture and for sparing us damage.
I hope you stop in to visit for awhile.

Well, at least the garden won't need watered today.
I'm driving two of the 'older' ladies today which is so
much fun. One is going to a doctor's appointment an
while she is there the other lady and I go to the village
and shop the dollar store and good will store. After the
doctor's is done that lady takes us out for lunch. I have
such a great time with these ladies they love to talk an
I love to listen and learn. Have a great day Y'all.

My day is shaping up well. I posted a little political writing. Donna and I both slept through the storms that came through our area. We didn't get hit very hard right here, but the local news was full of damage stories from over Columbus, OH.
Thanks for the refill.
Tell us about your day so far.

I am late for the coffee but certainly hope you saved me some coffee rolls!
Thanks for the invite!
I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,400 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.
With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)
As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
