Tornadoes, Rain and Snow


If you have never been to Arkansas or lived there let me tell you a little bit about the weather. At any given time you can have all
four seasons in one day. This week on Thursday 1/11/24 we were under a tornado watch/warning ⚠️. We ended up having straight line winds ranging at 45 to 60 mph. There were big trees uprooted and toppled over. In places it looked like a scene from the movie twister. Today we are having a snow apocalypse and the whole town is shut down! Six of my coworkers and I are sleeping at work so we can be here to work our shifts the next few days. The residents need us. Yesterday as I was getting ready to prepare for my stay I went to Walmart. Let me tell you the shelves were bare. Very little milk, eggs and the bread section empty. The chips and dips, fruit and vegetables and sweets (pies, cakes, rolls ect ect) we're just about bare. I have never gotten use to seeing this in all my years of living here. Don't hate, I know we don't have the equipment like up North but how much food do you really need. In a few days it will be gone and life will go back to normal. One thing I can say is I'm thankful I live in Arkansas where the winter weather only last a few days unlike the North where it's 7/8 months. As I have gotten older my body can't handle the cold. I pray everyone stays warm, safe and have some fun while it last. God Bless Y'all 🙏

How appropriate my 48th post on my 48th birthday

Image
So today is my 48th birthday and my one goal was to have 50 blogs written and posted. It looks like I didn't achieve that goal as this is my 48th blog. I thought how appropriate to be writing my 48th on my 48th. Maybe I did reach my goal, if I can get two more posts in before midnight technically that would still count, right? Anyways you ask how does it feel to be almost a half a century year old? I don't feel any different and I really don't look any different other then maybe more tired. My day has one of many things and emotions. I have gotten text, FB messages, FB post to my wall and phone calls. Some of them are from people who I knew would wish me happy birthday but there are a few that really surprised me. I'm still holding on to the hope that a couple of people I thought would send me a birthday wish will still do it. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it but to say I'm not hurt would be a lie. Either way I can clearly see who I matter to and I...

Goodbye September, Hello October

Image
 How is it possible that today day is the last day of September? I will go to sleep and wake up to the first day of October. I can say I'm ready for the fall and colder months. Which is crazy to think 3 more of them and it's going to be a whole new year! Time needs to slow down or maybe it's me that needs to? I love this time of year as the evening's are cooler and I can sit out on the porch or lay in my hammock and enjoy the evening. The sounds of nature all around and seeing the beauty of God's creations. Plus it's Fall Festivals, Arts and Crafts shows, evening drives with the windows down, football on tv, I mean really there is lots to do in the fall. There is a few things I would like to do different or maybe have during this time of year but I have to have faith that God will eventually see to it. As I have gotten older and been through many hard situations I don't take this time lightly. I try and enjoy every day and moment I can. My heart does get sad...

4th of July 2025

Image
 One of my favorite holidays has come and gone for another year. Things were a little different this year as my peeps that I go with to watch the fireworks didn't come due to having almost 6 month old twins at home. So I helped the church give out hot dogs and then my child and one of her friends spent time at the beach. Later we went and sat up on the damn and watched the fireworks. This was the end of a tradition but the start of a new one. Next year it will be home in our pool with close friends. Cooking out and doing our own fireworks show. Hope everyone have a good day and God Bless America 🙏  #Happy 4th of July
