Thank God, John and Justin were home....we had 50 mile, plus... an hour winds, yesterday, at home... while Michael and I were in Chicago.... John called us, on the way home...{unusual for him...} asked how the weather was, on the road...and said to be careful....he didn't tell me how much we lost, and how bad it was, 'til this morning....{he said the massive tent, rolled up on top of his shop...he had tried to hold it down, by anchoring it to the little Ford Ranger...to no avail...it disintegrated...all that's left is the tarp...and a pile of twisted iron....I am so thankful he, or Justin wasn't hurt.... {little Ford..too} {I would have said RUN...nothing is worth risking your life over...oh my....} The other buildings and Greenhouses are o.k. It's cold, and snowing like crazy.... I'll pull the tarp off, when the weather permits... John said the stuff in the tent, took a pretty hard hit...as well...{this was a HUGE...drive in a truck and trailer, sized tent.... I'm gonna miss it....it's been a real blessing...}
Michael and I are going to load his trailer, at Dale's...and he'll be heading South, tonight, or in the morning...It's been a Crazy, Wonderful Week....It's also been great seeing all the Cool Local Shops, that it seems, I don't get to as much as I would like......There are many we missed...never enough time in a day...or a week, for that matter....
Love to ya...

Oh Barb...
I am glad everyone is O.K. - sure puts it all in perspective. We had a tornado come thru our farm last Sunday -- clocked at 105 mph. We are still in the midst of clean-up, will be for months -- but everyone is O.K.

I am so sorry....We are very blessed...I have been asked if insurance will cover...I probably won't turn it in.... It's hard enough to srape premiums together...I sure don't want a rate increase...{we never file a claim}
I'm so glad you are o.k. I'm kind of glad I wasn't here...now...that all is well...oh my...scary....very scary....
Love to You... and Prayers Your Way...

Hey Ginger...
Michael just left.... always very sad... to see him go... a 80 year old friend of mine, went to supper with us, the other night...then told us, visiting with us, was like sipping Champagne...I was very flattered, and... totally understand that emotion... I feel the very same way, when the Boys are Back in Town...but never quite knew how to put the feeling into words...
I Love them Both....Dearly...and will Miss them...so...until their next visit....
Love you too...Miss Ginger...
