Jarrad & Helen's wedding

I am so proud to present the love of my life Jarrad & Helen!  I helped raise this young man since he was 8 years old.  It pleases me so much to see how he has grown into a fine young man.  He has chosen a beautiful young woman to be his partner & I as his step mother wish him the best of luck in the future!  They were married Saturday, April 2, 2011.

Mother Nature

I would really love to post you a beautiful picture of a lightening storm but, instead I will show you the results of that storm.  I must say that this storm REALLY scared me!  This storm also left me with no use of my house phone and (gasp) no internet.

FYI this type of damage involved flames. 

The tree didn't fair very well either!
I know mother nature is very unpredictable and I appreciate her job however, I'm sending her a memo asking for a relocation of her next fury. Hell hath no fury like a woman scourned!!  Mother nature fits in that category!
