Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, mild so far but going up to low 70s. It's really hard to believe there were such bad storms yesterday. At least one tornado passed within 5 miles of my house; but in spite of the awful wind all day, we had no damage here. God really looked out for us old folks! LOL!
Yesterday: There was some sort of problem, so DH didn't do dialysis. That was a blessing in disguise ... normally, I would have had to go pick him up right when the worst of the storm hit. Because the weather was so strange, I actually got very little done, other than some sewing. My project is very nearly finished. DS and family came by last night to visit. They had been to a museum in Raleigh. The exhibit they went to is in the basement ... so they never even knew about the tornado that went through town! But they are safe, we are, and have talked to friends and family members. It's all good. :)
Today: I really don't know now what today will bring. I may go over to a friend's house to help clean up, they got a nearly direct hit. The house is not destroyed, but no power and lots of damage in the yard. I need to run errands; but power is out so many places, I don't know yet how far I'll have to go! LOL! Hopefully I'll end up with a productive day.
