Last Week Of May

I don't know if your May was like mine, but honestly I need a break!!! We have a family outing this coming weekend then things should slow down considerably!!! I am kind of ready for a slowdown too!!! Sure wish there was a way to scatter all the fun that we had in May out a little bit more :-) But I guess that is the way life goes. . .ebbs and flows :-)

I have been scrapping a little bit but have all sorts of projects in the works so that slowdown can't come too soon :-) So here goes. . .

Troubling Times

Well, this week certainly points out the troubling times we live in. . .I can remember my childhood was a time of innocence and it saddens me that the children of today have so much more to worry about. Things that should be fun and carefree can end in tragedy. . .so sad.

The weather here has been topsy turvy again this week. . .hot one day and cold the next, no wonder my body is fighting back!!! But today is a day to suck it up and get it done!!! So here goes. . .

Thankful Thursday

Well, yesterday was quite the day!!! There is a nasty weather system approaching for the weekend and yesterday the first wave moved through north of here. We didn't have storms but early in the morning they issued a wind advisory. Now, keep in mind, I live in the middle of the Midwest and we have two areas - city and country and that country area is wide-open!!! About 3 I looked up from the computer and immediately thought there must be a house on fire somewhere. . .I literally could not see the house a block over!!! I opened the door to see if it was smoke and my mouth was immediately full of grit and dust!!! We were having a dust storm!!! We had massive rains a few days ago and the fields had dried so farmers have been replanting their crops this week. With the rain, replanting and the wind, the dust just went airborne!!! They had to close several roads and interstates due to multiple car wrecks and visibility. . .sadly there was at least one fatality. My husband was traveling last night and had to take country roads to get to his destination because of road closures. . .even at 9 last night the wind was fierce and I couldn't see down the street. Our power went off a couple of times. . .thankfully today seems much calmer!!! Because of the weather, I didn't get things posted yesterday so here goes. . .
