Tornado warnings tonight, we rode it out in the motor home in the garage. It went around us again. No strikes close to us, mostly in Douglas County about 5 miles south, and some overhead.

13 May, 2009 -- Magic show, blueberries, you name it
Breakfast on Monday morning. Tyler put on a magic show!
Fonda and Jan inspecting the craftsy stuff that Fonda brought home from NC.
LAD taking pics of Daddy & G'pa working.
I jumped in with Ben in the luscombe on Monday and got some aerials of May 8 wind damage.
Don & John. Trying to fly?
Finally finished planting the blueberries. Dig dig dig... I shouldn't have let the clay soil sit there around the holes so long. It was becoming permanent! Those little sprouts didn't have many roots, they might not make it. Maybe they will someday become big like the other blueberry plants. Planted the rest of my tomato seedlings. Ran out of potting soil just when I finished!
LAD wasn't going to be left behind when Mommy packed on the 11th. They didn't leave until the 12th, though.
10th - Mother's Day... Fonda had a surprise, so did I. Wearable bug from Grant & Devon & Sam & Cam & Ralph & Kelly. Sudoku puzzles & a little cookbook featuring beer bbq recipes. Roses from the "other Sam".
Fonda's Mother's Day... Roses, and flower gifts from LAD that he picked out himself. "Mama likes pink flowers!"
Little poinsettia is still putting out red leaves. And the flower garden's doing well, too.
Orchid doing well in west window. Tiny little bird shapes clustered on long stem,
have no fragrance at all, but surely are pretty, and they last for a week or more.
Juanita's night blooming cereus was her M-day surprise in the greenhouse.
I can smell it from here... it's very very fragrant! Bloom only lasts one night.

12 May, 2009 -- Another long day
Mowed the grass, after Fonda and LAD and cats left for Iowa. Planted two blueberry bushes, two tomato plants, dug out some errant grass, then went out for supper. Wind wind wind. Another good sunset, even a tiny rainbow.
11 May, 2009 -- Flying things; other things, too
Finish this tomorrow. The blog site folded up on me, and
I'm too tired to recreate it all tonight.

9 May, 2009 -- At the zoo
Aunt Sus and Oma took most of these photos today. Thanks!
While Randy and G'pa cut down the wind damaged trees behind the hangar,
Aunt Sus and Oma took LAD to the zoo in Springfield. I meandered between
WM, home and the airport, stacking brush, grocery shopping, spraying ants,
etc. We are wearing each other out! Still no power at the airport.
J & J & J & J tried to drive in to the new Branson Airport for the airshow. Too many people
trying to do the same, and they didn't get in. John and Hokie flew to Point Lookout, but
they couldn't get to the new Branson airport either; shuttle service was inadequate.
At least they got to fly today!
End of the day... Hi, Dad!!! Let's run races! Hi, G'pa!!! I can help!
Here I am, trying to cook (cough cough), and LAD has a new "camera"
(squirt squirt). Well, I do need to wash up some!
Hey, Dad!!! Let's wrestle!!! (Now, that's a classy photo, Sus!)
