Yesterday was such a good day.Weird for a day you wake up late, pass a hundred trees down and poles split, and your husband forgets his car keys at home. But it was a good day. We were alive, the weather was beautiful and I got to have a surprise lunch with Brad.
Last night we went to the end of the year golf party that followed a partner game. Alana was partners with one of the coaches and they did really well. His wife the other coach, would keep saying Alana's awesome shots were just luck. He would argue she knew what she was doing and had skill. It was amusing.
Tomorrow Maggie is doing the talent show ×2. I will let you how that goes. Friday is award day for junior high and I will be there!!
Next week is even busier with Kindergarten graduation, elementary school awards, and field day for the kids.
I must read all your updates, I feel left out. Later.

Such a happy post! :-)

Thank you for sharing your special day with us. Made me smile.

This time of year was always so exciting when the kids were about to be home for the summer. Would love to hear of Maggie's talent performance!

^I was always excited too when S. was going to be home for the summer.

We were in the path of something last night, power was out and we didn't wake up until 7 am! Trees are down and poles are split but nothing like Oklahoma.
Today I'm meeting my husband for lunch. Because he forgot his keys, that makes me happy!

Glad to know that you are all well. (Maybe you needed some extra rest, huh?)

What an unexpected pleasure...lunch with your hubby.

Sometimes there are good reasons for lost power and forgotten keys and such. :)

by cyber_space_cadet at 05/21/13 12:59PM
You're safe, wonderful. Maybe he should (could) forget his keys more often. Nice.

by shannonwk at 05/21/13 1:08PM
I hope you're having a wonderful date with your husband right now...

by ceoltoir at 05/21/13 1:27PM
Glad you are okay.

The Oklahoma tornados make me want to cry and hold my babies right now. Wow! Prayers for the families and for the ones still holding on. So sad.

Hearts breaking. Sad, indeed!

by shannonwk at 05/20/13 9:39PM
I know...so very, very sad.

by cyber_space_cadet at 05/20/13 9:53PM
Can you imagine? Just makes me hurt, sick to my stomach. A good reason why children should be with their mammas and not at school.

by misssonja at 05/20/13 10:25PM
This has been a heart breaking day.

by aleta at 05/20/13 10:51PM
My son and family were not in the danger zone. I am SO glad.

by chickadee at 05/20/13 11:15PM
I just can't imagine.

by split_rock at 05/21/13 8:15AM
So sad! It breaks my heart!! We sat in our basement this morning for 30 minutes or so. I woke up to the sirens going off at 3:00 am. Turned on the tv and they said if you live in Hendricks Co. you are under a tornado warning. He gave the location of the storm and yes we were right in the path. So woke everyone up and headed to the basement. Knowing this was the same storm from Oklahoma, I didn't want to take a chance. Still not sure what woke me up because we usually sleep thru the storms and sirens. But glad I did. I'm usually the one wanting to watch the storm but being in the middle of the night I even headed to the basement.

My thoughts and prayers are with those that are hurting in Oklahoma!

I have went on bike rides with kids tonight and last night and realize now that I will indeed be 36 in a few weeks. But it was fun and hope we have time for a short ride tomorrow before Bible study.
Today I went to Maggie's DARE graduation. It was fun. I didn't stay long after it though, too much to do.
So many things to be thankful for today. God has answered prayers for us and took care of things when it seemed impossible but nothing is impossible with God.
Alittle more peaceful day tomorrow, a few errands to run and class to teach that I am ready to teach. I love teaching this class. They are such a sweet group of children.
My strawberry rhubarb pie was so good. I was a nice girl and shared my wealth with my neighbors. I'm actually surprised at so many that haven't tried rhubarb. Brad wouldn't eat it for years bc it looked like celery.It's his favorite now.

Random all sound good.

by grandmadiane at 05/15/13 5:19AM
I've never had rhubarb. I'd probably like it now, but there are usually other choices that attract me more. I mean, strawberry pie is SO good in itself, why sully it with rhubarb?

Bike rides: Slow and easy! I went for a ride with my "kids" night before last. Love it!

This was a good update!

by tryphena at 05/15/13 7:38AM
So thankful for your blessings and obviously smiling heart!

by aleta at 05/15/13 9:30AM
Haven't had rhubarb in years. I love it. I wouldn't sully the rhubarb with strawberries! I like them both so much!

by split_rock at 05/15/13 10:33AM
Glad for your answered prayers! (And for peaceful days.)

by cyber_space_cadet at 05/15/13 10:55AM
An old bf of mine had rhubarb growing out back and wanted me to make something with it...so I made strawberry rhubarb mousse pie. Our deal was that I cooked and he cleaned up. Which was usually a good deal, but this recipe was one of those "in a large bowl... in a small pot... in a medium pot..." etc -- you would not believe how many pots and bowls and whatnot were used, like a mountain of dishes to wash for one little pie! It was good, though, and the rhubarb not only enhances the flavor, but also delivers amazing color, just beautiful.

by misssonja at 05/15/13 12:05PM
The bike rides sound fun. I doubt I could ride anymore my balance being pretty bad. Happy for your blessed days.

by shannonwk at 05/15/13 8:58PM
I tried rhubarb pie recently. It was delish! I was surprised.

by ceoltoir at 05/16/13 12:20AM

Its been a long day...

at 05/13/13 4:00PM

I must go make a rhubarb pie. Will have a better update later.

I've never had that.

by cyber_space_cadet at 05/13/13 4:01PM
Goes better with strawberries. I remember eating it raw from Grandpa Hardcastle's garden. Have not eaten it since, or not that much.

by hartschloss at 05/13/13 4:48PM
^ yes with strawberries, yum yum!

by truckerswife at 05/13/13 5:55PM
Mmmmmmmmm

by moe at 05/13/13 7:28PM
I heard of the pie but never eaten any. Wonder if it taste tangy or sweet.

by shannonwk at 05/14/13 12:49PM
That's good
