Monday night, we took shelter while under a warning, and one of the largest hit just ten miles from here. A great deal of damage from multiple tornadoes, but no loss of life, thanks to our warning systems and television coverage. (The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center is in this area.)Annie Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503911310958759533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302056359724394882.post-87594731797195804042010-05-16T06:06:03.254-05:002010-05-16T06:06:03.254-05:00So scary to be in the path of the wrath of mother ...So scary to be in the path of the wrath of mother nature.

I should have mentioned May 10, 2009 in my post last week, but will when I post today. This May 10, at the time you were posting, we were in our safe place under a tornado warning. A lot of damage all around us, but we were not affected other than our Internet service, which was restored yesterday. We had thunderstorms most of the overnight hours, continuing this morning.<br /><br />We're Sooner fans also; I got my master's from OU and my husband loves the team. I think that our large family contributes about 50 members to the OU fan pool. (We even have an OU Christmas wreath.) Norman is headquarters for our library system, so I was there several times a month before I retired. <br /><br />I continue to enjoy your blog!

Today is the one year anniversary of the tragic tornado that look property and several lives last year. <br /><br />It was fun to see that your granddaughter goes to OU. My husband is an OU graduate and an avid sooner fan. We have season tickets for football, so we are in Norman several times during the fall. She is attending a wonderful school.A Refocused Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573863239128329322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302056359724394882.post-26935486401811786002010-05-05T16:07:17.503-05:002010-05-05T16:07:17.503-05:00Hi, Bonnie.

Would you believe that we are having earthquakes in Oklahoma? We recently had one that shook the floor and sounded like a bomb went off! You're right about the luggage being heavy, but I think that's why the set I have is in such good condition. My two daughters used it after we got it from Tom's aunt and there's not a scratch or dent on them!

We are happy to be in a place where those things do not normally occur. Our hearts always go out to those effected. Now the flooding in the south!<br /><br />Your previous post brought fond memories of Samsonite luggage. Mine was blue and very heavy even before packed!<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302056359724394882.post-79899408215872440852010-05-03T19:22:21.898-05:002010-05-03T19:22:21.898-05:00Hi, Annie..thanks so much for coming by my place. ...Hi, Annie..thanks so much for coming by my place. I hope you'll come again real soon.<br /><br />We live in West Texas and have always had a lot of tornadoes, too.
