Happy Saturday! Well finally, thanks to Daddy's work, our house has entered the 21 century and we now have wireless Internet access available. That means I can now snag Daddy's laptop and go out to the porch to post onto the blog! Plus, Daddy's work bought him a new laptop, so not only do I have a really big screen to look at when I post, but I can do it from the patio or my bedroom!
Yesterday, Daddy told me about him and one of his bosses going up to New Symna Beach to look at some of the tornado damage from about a week ago. He went into the one neighborhood and was amazed at some of the damage. Now the area was not where the major tornado went through, as that was farther to the west in Lake county, but rather it looked like a smaller tornado went through this neighborhood. At first, you couldn't see any damage, but as you got farther back into the subdivision, you could start seeing the "blue roofs." It was very reminiscent of the hurricanes, but what was really amazing was that you could see from the damage the exact path that the tornado took. For example on one street, there was a house that lost it's patio and had broken windows on the back of the house, and then diagonally across street, the house had substantial damage to the front of the structure. The house next door had no damage. It was just amazing how selective the damage was and how the path was so easily defined. In the one subdivision of 400 houses, 69 of them ended up with damage!
I didn't get to see Daddy for but a few minutes yesterday because he didn't get home until almost 10:00pm! I'm know that he missed me, but he has to work so I won't complain.
To answer Aunt Patti's question, I look like both Mommy and Daddy! Everyone says that I am "a spitting image of Daddy" but I don't really spit much so that doesn't make much sense to me. My hair is thick like Mommy's, but unruly like Daddy's. My cheeks are Daddy's. No doubt about that.
Time for another quote from Uncle Paul B:
"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.
If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't
step forward, you're always in the same place."
- Nora Roberts
Well, I will try and post some new pictures later today (now that I can do it from the patio.)
Love y'all,
Melody
