Mz. Virginia was happy to receive two special visitors this weekend, Carol Lee and Alan. She was especially appreciative because it is a four hour trip each way, "A lot to make in one day." As always, she was so glad to see them and visit with them and reports that the cat stayed right at her side the whole time, eyeing the visitors warily. She looks forward to seeing them again in May when she travels to Kansas to see the baby.
Physically she is feeling as well as can be expected. She managed to dodge a bladder infection that tried to take hold last week and is glad to see spring is coming. "One more week and spring ought to be here," she says. Of course, spring in Oklahoma likes to make a grand entrance, with tornadoes often threatening. But Rick had a storm cellar installed a couple of years ago and has a survival kit~complete with flashlight, radio, first aid kit, etc.~ always ready to go should threatening weather approach. Sometimes when I come in the morning after a stormy night, I will find Rick's survival kit sitting by the back door at the ready.
Grandma tries to stay ready during stormy weather as well, keeping her clothes on at bedtime rather than dressing in her gown, and keeping her medicine and purse ready to go. "I won't take the cat down if we have to go though," she reports. "Becky's dogs would be down there." She knows the cat would be more likely to survive on her own, as it would take an act of Congress to get the creature to go down into that hole in the ground.

The weather here is very windy with storms predicted. I have chili planned for dinner thinking this will be the last chili we eat until fall.
We have already had one tornado hit in Chelsea! Luckily we have a basement. I am a little confused at the locals though...when it's going to storm they rush out to buy milkand bread. I get the bread but if your power goes out what good is the milk? We have plenty of canned goods and our neighbor has two hefty generators.
We pack a 'go to the basement bag' when the weather is questionable.
Purse, keys, shoes, jacket, flashlight, cell phone and dog leashes. Good times.
