said it has hit places all around her, but so far she's okay. I hate when friends are so many miles away! I tend to worry a little too much...

Although it's south and north of us today, I've added cleaning out the main level "safe room" since we're under a watch now, and looks like storms all next week. It's a lot easier to herd the cats into the safe room than it is for me try to get them to the basement. Heck, it's easier for ME to go to the safe room... those basement stairs are scary as heck at my age!

Everyone in these monsters' way... eyes up and stay safe!!!
