Cool bedtime story, Hawaii. Barking sand....hmmmm.

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...Nate making any progress with cereal?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I thought about you all weekend...hoping you and your area were all safe.

And now you have snow?? Is it sticking? Did you have to shovel? Do the girls like it?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[Kathy in Alaska]

G’Day, Janey...((HUGS))...stay safe and above flood level. Be safe in your travels.

What cuties those little koalas are....and good caregivers.
Anywhere near you?

[TASMANIANRED]

The images and stories coming out of the path of the tornado’s are breaking my heart.

Girls got to slip and slide in the snow last night...Sun took care of most of it today. Just a tad too warm for any serious snow.

[TASMANIANRED]

So sweet..

Our Virginia friend lost a grand aunt and uncle (only met once) in a mobile home in West Liberty...in their 80s she thinks. Something about a tornado coming over the mountain.

From WFPL News......

There have been twenty-one confirmed deaths in Kentucky after tornadoes tore through the state on Friday. Seven of those deaths were in Morgan County, where the county seat, West Liberty, was leveled by the storms.

Louisville resident Alex Wright is a doctor with Norton Healthcare Systems. West Liberty is his hometown, and his extended family still lives there. He headed to the town Saturday morning to see how he could help, and described the scene he saw driving through downtown.

“I think heartbreaking is just too light of a word,” Wright said. “It was just devastating to see all of these things that you grew up seeing and playing around as a kid just completely leveled and flattened.”

Most of West Liberty’s downtown is gone, including the two banks, nearly all of the pharmacies and a World War One statue that was outside the courthouse. After going down Main Street, the tornado turned, headed up the hill, took the roof off the hospital and damaged the town’s only low-income housing complex. That meant there were many people who were homeless and injured, with no one to go.

Good evening, Linda Frances. Your hubby has had some interesting experiences.

We thank him for his service to our country.

[TASMANIANRED]

I’m so very sorry.

I talk to West Liberty hospital frequently.

Prayers lifted .

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks...I will pass them on.

And I am just about out for the night.

Safe journey, Taz, when you got to go home. ((HUGS))
