Yeah, the mental image just doesn't work, the actual image doesn't work either. I am amazed every time and wonder who that woman is and what she did with my mother. I am hoping and praying with all my heart that the original mother comes back soon.

Rain? we got 3 inches one day, and lost power for a while. There were tornados spotted in the county, but they didn't say where. The nearest town (Forgan, 23 miles away) got 7 inches in 6 hours but they are on the side of a hill so it just ran out of town.

Sometimes the trip between Meade and the house requires pulling over to the side of the road and waiting until the visibility gets above 10 feet. And it is wheat harvest time, so we all wait for the sun, and curse the hail and hope there is still a crop there when it is all over.
