It's just one of those days.......

The calendar says it's spring, but if you live in Kansas, don't believe it. I have been up since 1:30 AM. That's when all hell broke out in the land of OZ. It all started on Friday around 11 AM. It sleeted all day, all evening and then sometime in the wee hours of the morning the temperature went up and it rained. The rain turned to ice and what you see is the result The carport collapsed and now this mess is what I see when I go out my front door. Oh yeah, not to mention that my beautiful PT is sitting under it. The spoiler is bent, and a 2 x 4 is laying on the roof.

That's about all I can really see. It ripped the siding on the house, and right now my prayer is that it doesn't fall anymore. If it does the car is toast.

I had a security light underneath it and when the thing went down it tripped the breaker, so I had no power in about 1/2 of the front of my house. Thank God I have a son who is an electrician and now I am fixed. He got out in the mess to help his ole Mom. Thanks Son!
My nerves are frazzled, I wonder how in the world this is going to get cleaned up, hopefully the insurance people will have some answers for me. And yes, the claims have been filed and they were wonderfully helpful. I want to give a shout out to my neighbor Faye. My God, what would I ever do without her. She talked me down and I finally stopped crying. She trudged out in the mess to just be a supportive friend, reminding me that there is a silver lining in all things. So, how's your day going?

Sports Granny is on the MOVE!!

No pictures to post this time. I don't have any, but stay tuned it's about to start. Those wonderful spring and summer sports. Here is how it shakes out: Val is going to pole vault on the freshman team. (yes, I said pole vault) I think that might just be an exciting event. I know absolutely nothing about it, but I am a quick study. I was told to bring my lawn chair, sit in it and wait for her turn. I can do that! Emi is going to run the hurdles. Now she did that last year and was the only girl in her class to do it. It was exciting to watch, once I got over the fear that she might fall. She just ran and leaped and it was fast. She is taller, stronger and I bet better. I don't know if she is the only 7th grade girl from her school to run them, no matter it's exciting. I have this wonderful new camera courtesy of my kids, so I hope to get some great action shots. Shelbie is playing fast pitch softball. Now that's a game I know something about. This is her second year. She played 2nd base last year, not sure where she will end up this year. But where ever it is she will do a great job. And last but not least Landon. Landon is going to play his first year of Babe Ruth for boys. He has played recreation ball in his hometown, but this coming season it's gona be for real. I can't wait. It will take me back to the days of my boys playing. It's gona be good, just as long as he doesn't play the catcher position. Don't like that one. Really scary. So when I say Granny is on the move, you now have the picture. I keep their schedules in my day timer, color coded. I know where I am suppose to be at all times. What a great great time it is. I have my lawn chair, stadium chair, blanket (for the cool evenings), my camera, car gassed up and I am ready to roll. LOOK OUT WORLD GRANNY IS ON THE MOVE.
