Terrible tornadoes came through this afternoon & evening. We spent a good 30 minutes or so in our little tornado shelter! I hate getting in there, but am so thankful we have it.


Our little comedian, Holt, said, "We've been down here 5 days." We turned to look & saw that he was making hash marks with his finger on the wall of the cellar!

After he got a laugh out of us, he made 5 more & said we'd been there for 10 days. I love that crazy kid! We've been reminded how much we need to find a good battery-operated fan for the cellar. It gets a little warm in there! Between the humidity & all of our hot air, it created the moisture on the walls that Holt could make marks with. Thankfully, we had a little battery-operated fan of Abi's. It was tiny, but at least it was moving air.

Our little scaredy cat, Ojoe did awesome! And I am especially grateful that we received no damage & were able to climb out of our shelter & back into the comforts of home. What a blessing. Many were not that fortunate.

Saying prayers of thanks tonight...
