Happy Days !!!!!

First, I like to say "Thank you" to all

for the prayers, thoughts and concerns

for us. We made through all the bad

weather! Yesterday we were under a

TORNADO WARNING and had to take

cover at school! The three Special Ed.

classes hunkered down in our room for

an hour. We were never in danger but

a tornado did tough down about 20-25

miles south of school though. There

was some damage to the downtown

area. Sedalia, Mo was hit by one also.

If you would like to help--here are a

couple of places you can go:

Mother Nature

Laying low tonight. Thunderstorms and possible tornados for us. See you soon! Please continue to keep those in Joplin, Mo in' your prayers. ~Keep on Dreaming~

Prayers PLEASE!!!!!

Please pray for everyone who has

been touched by severe Tornados

here in Kansas and over in Missouri.

Reading, Ks was hit by an EF-3 tornado.

Eighty percent of the town is gone.

In Joplin, Mo, 75% of the town is

gone including a hospital.

Many people have lost their lives.

Those that made it through have no

home to sleep in tonight.

Please keep them in your thoughts

and prayers.

Thanks so much!

Women's Tools

The article above is from the current issue of ALL YOU. It is a wonderful article on starting a tool box just for YOU! ************************************ I just happen to have MY own tool box that Mr. Ken started for me several Christmas' ago. I picked out the box so I could have all the little spots for my tools. I love having my own tool box, now I don't have to truck downstairs and find something in Ken's box. The best part is that MY box lives in my sewing room, so all I have to do is walk down the hall to get an item. ********************************* The article recommends: 1. Hammer--lightweight 2. Screwdriver--A multibit ratchet 3. Hardware--screws, nails, eye hooks, cup hooks etc. 4. Adhesives--tapes, glues, paper 5. Pliers--one with a comfy grip on slip joint and needle nose ones for twisting 6. Level--a 9-inch torpedo level with a magnetic strip 7. Tape measure--A standard 25 foot model with 1/16- inch fractions 8. Lightweight drill--a cordless, 8-volt lithium-ion device 9. Socket and Ratchet set-- Look for a set with standard and metric measurements, plus a high number of "teeth" for strength and durability 10. My recommendation-- Sandpaper--different grades. The lower the grit the rougher it is. Goggles probably would be a good thing to have also. The article also suggests checking the Father's days sales for good bargains. **As you can see I have gathered most of what they have suggested. After reading the article, I looked through my box and I am missing a couple of things which I'll pick up at a later date. But I do have everything else. ~Keep on Dreaming~

Oh, Goodie!!!!

Happy Friday!!!!

end) left until I begin my

summer vacation!!!!

I am sooooo ready.

Memories

Last night Ken and I had

the pleasure of being

invited to a party for a

high school Graduate.

We have been able to

see this young man grow

into a wonderful young

adult. He happens to

have super parents!

Ken and Derrick's Dad

have been friends and

shared a house before

each of them went their

seperate ways. Randy

to marry and Ken to

move on to the next

phase of his life.

We had a great time at

the party. It was fun to

watch the kids spending

time together and be able

to reflect back to my own

graduation and party

afterwards at our home.

I told Ken today that it

is hard to believe that 30

years--yes, I said 30 have

gone by since I was in

high school. Oh, Boy!

I DON'T envy anyone

graduating now! I'll

stay right where I am

and continue growing up!

of onions for cooking.

**California is the source for nearly

60% of all USA grown fresh cut

flowers.
