Yikes! We’ve had a rash of Tornadoes here! That’s not good for a lady with a nervous condition. I was blessed by my Creator, who loves me and knows me like the back of His Hand, with peaceful, restful sleep. Yep, I slept right on through the sirens and everathang.
That’s not to say I wasn’t pretty worried before I drifted off. Growing up I heard stories about what a tornado sounds like. (When they come at NIGHT, you can’t exactly LOOK for the OBVIOUS.) By the way, I am so very thankful for all the grown ups who were in my life who told this scaredy cat about every frightening sound, disaster, and futuristic prediction that has ever come down the pike. (My mom watched stuff about Nostradamus and Asteroids with me!!!)
Here is my inner dialogue during a windy night in Alabama.
“Okay, I think a tornado sounds like a train going by. That’s what several people have told me.”
“Now, that sounds like a train. Should it be like a fast train, or a slow meandering train?”
“Maybe the train story comes from the funnel cloud making the sound of a train whistle!”
“Okay, that sounds like a really close train. Should I put the kids in the fireplace (NOT LIT) and cover them with a mattress?”
“Is the shower a better option? Someone said hide in a tub with a mattress, but we have a SHOWER!. Maybe I can put the kids in the shower if the sirens go off.”
“What if the roof comes off, and the kids are in the fireplace and that knocks some of the chimney rocks onto their heads?”
“That definitely sounds train-ish!!!!”
You see my line of crazy? I just gave up and went to bed.
This morning I got up and read about all the tornado trauma. I am so glad I slept through it all. There’s only so long that I want to talk to myself about the wind.
While cleaning up my bedroom ( I blame the tornado for the mess) I found where my husband got his eyebrows.
Paul Clements aka Pawpaw
LOL! I found the photo underneath the dresser. I put it back together in its frame and lovingly placed it where it would not stare at me. (It’s rather large, and very imposing.)
I also came across a picture of these two kids.
Jon and Liz-Gettin Hitched
That brings back some memories.
Suddenly surprised that the room was clean, I decided to snap a picture. The last post I did about the house did not include a shot of our bedroom.
ta-dah!
My room is the meeting place for every dresser in the house. The wardrobe leads the meeting in the corner and the others wrap their way around to the door. Each one has a home, I just haven’t moved them yet.
Enjoy your Funnel Free ( I hope ) Friday,
Stay safe and God bless…
