An Interesting Weekend...

O.K...so we knew the weather was predicting a few thunderstorms here and there, but had no idea and F2 Torndado was going to touch down just a few miles from our house! We had company coming over and Calvin was out cooking hamburgers on the grill. It started to rain a little and out of no where, the bottom fell out. Calvin came running inside and told us to get away from the windows. A few seconds later a tree fell in our backyard, short from hitting our bedroom window. Then, a HUGE tree in the backyard was uprooted and is lying across the tops of the other trees. This lasted for about 10 minutes before everything went calm. Our yard looked like a disaster zone. We were VERY fortunate. Everyone was safe and we had no house damage.

Bless North Central Power Company! They have been working around the clock to get everyone's power back on. Thank you Mr. Pat!

Saturday night we went to Pepaw's house and had dinner. The kids had a blast playing together. Thanks Pepaw! Sunday, we took Addie to the Fed Ex St. Jude Golf Tournament. Addie absolutely loved it! Calvin told her she had to use her "golf course" voice or they'd put her in the golf course jail where people go that talk to loud. (a.k.a. Port a potties) She did fabulous! The best was when a few golfers were walking up to hit, and Addie reached out and touched one on his shoulder. "Have a good golf day," she said. He fell out laughing and said "thanks!" ... Classic Addie moment!~
