Hi y'all! After all the storm activity and crappy cell phone coverage, we had the grand kids this weekend. We have a 9 year old, 2 year old and 8 month old. That wasn't enough, so the 9 year old brought a friend Friday night. She was picked up Saturday. Hmmm...... what to do? Fortunately the neighbors wanted a night out and gifted us with their 3 year old son Saturday night. They picked him up sometime after midnight. We had a rip roaring time, kids running through the house, building "forts" and "houses" out of boxes, chairs and blankets. Toys were everywhere, chaos and confusion reigned. It was a good weekend. But now I have 62 posts to catch up on.

In fact, even syrup on pancakes doesn't appeal -

You need REAL maple syrup from real maple trees.

My cell phone is old fashioned and doesn't even take pictures.

Mine either

Get an I-Phone, they're nice!

... And expensive to buy
... And expensive to pay for every month!
As was mentioned.

Sure glad y'all are OK. Not reading every day while travelling. Kinda better that way, worry is resolved minutes after being warned there may be a serious problem

A couple years ago, someone at work gave me their 'old' iPhone 4S when they upgraded. I used it for pictures, videos, the calendar, notes, clock (watch, stopwatch and timer), calculator and various other things you don't need to pay for service for. I could even access the internet and other stuff when I was somewhere that had wi-fi. With a USB cord I could put the pictures on my computer. Only cost is the electric to keep it charged, which is minimal.

Things are always inexpensive if they are given as gifts.
My sister got out of the cow business in early 2012, asked me which one I would keep if they were mine and I pointed a little horned one out. 'Good feet, good legs, and she's going to have a good udder' & next day, her neighbor drove up to my place with that heifer and a note. My sister gave me that heifer for helping to gather and load her herd out for the sale barn. Been a good performer and raises a heck of a calf every year......Dang, cattle shore are cheap.

So I left Mel in with the goats for a while today. He did OK. After a bit he went and stood by the gate and stared at me like "OK, you gonna let me out"? @Southern by choice this shot's for you Oh, you can also see the white splash on the newest kid CC. She's the one climbing the bricks.

Am a little worried about @Baymule as she lives right where there was a tornado warning earlier this evening down around Lindale. When I tuned in to the weather the warning area was already to the direct east of her. I've texted but had no reply. @Devonviolet has also texted and called but no answer and left a voice mail. Hope her and her DH and animals are OK.

My phone went off with a tornado warning and I live right in the center of the red area outlined. So I rounded up my keys, wallet, light, cell phone, lawn chair, mug of tea, & headed to the tornado shelter. Hadn't cleaned or prepared it at all and it was rife with spiders and webs. Tried to get Mel to go down inside with me but he wasn't having any of that nonsense. Should have trained him to go in there long before it became necessary. Anyway, I closed up the door and sat out the hail, heavy rain, and thankfully no tornado. Been an interesting evening to say the least. I have no idea if there really was a tornado near me... Guess I'll find that out tomorrow. There's another weak line of T-storms passing by me right now. Should be the last for the night.

Is that an old cast iron bath tub?
