~Bad Weather Coming!~

We are under a tornado watch until 7pm

tonite. Severe thunderstorms with hail and

damaging winds are predicted. There was

an alert on the radio that Ive never heard

before so they are expecting some bad

stuff. I just heard too, that the schools

here in Colon and in Nottawa are being

closed at 11 am, which is in a few minutes.

Ive never heard them do that before either.

The threat is severe.

I think after all these horrible tornados and

storms in Missouri and Minnesota and all

over that they arent taking any chances.

This stuff we are due to get is coming

right up from Missouri and Kansas.. I

have a friend lives in central Illinois

and I sure hope they are safe.

I was telling Penny that if we do get a

tornado I have no where to hide. I have

no basement. I think the safest place

for me is in the closet. The bathroom

has a window and I cant get into the

tub. My main worry is the boys, that

if we do have to get in the closet that

they will follow me.

Ive been watching the news, when my

cable works, which with this bad weather

coming again, I know it will go down again.

But those poor people in Joplin. How sad,

I feel so badly for them and I wish there

was something I could do to help them. I

saw where they dug a dog out that was

home alone. I worry about all the outside

kitties if the weather turns really bad.
This is the only thing I hate about the

summer is the tornados. Every 15

minutes on the Sturgis radio station

they come on and tell us to be on guard.

I think this might be a bad afternoon. I

hope not but...I still am gonna watch.

Penny is making some stuffed Peppers

today. They are so good. I have to make

some cabbage rolls next week for Donnie

when he comes to build my deck..He says

that's part of the deal, I have to feed him

and that's what he wants, says I make the

best ones of anyone. :-)

Time to close and keep watch. I'm still a

GORGEOUS but nervous WEEBLE.

Keep well and God Bless..

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
