Jim emailed methis morning after he heard about the big tornado in Kansas-I just wanted to let any others who remembered we lived in Kansas knowthat we are fine!
Hi Jim!
You are so sweet! :hug:It crossed my mindthis morning when I saw that the Greensburg tornado made Good MorningAmerica, that maybe I should post to everyone that we were okay. We aredoing well. It was a hairy weekend, for sure! Dozens of tornado's inour area, and inches of rain! County after county has canceled schoolfor the flooding and tornado damage. Greensburg is just devastated. Iwatched the news coverage for hours when it was happening. I'vetraveled through that town hundreds of times. I used to eat lunch at agreat little diner there with my Mom and Grandma when they were bothstill living, and my Grandad used to buy his John Deere equipment atthe dealer there. Greensburg is where the Dalton Gang (from the OldWestern Movies) was. There was a lot of old west history and goodKansas heritage. It's just all gone...
They say the tornado was the biggest,strongest one to hit anywhere in the United States since 1999. It wasover 1 1/2 miles wide when it was it's largest and over 200mph. Shoot! You think Carolyn still wants to put on herglittery red slippers and come visit us here in Kansas??
Thanks so much for thinking of me and myfamily Jim! You know, maybe I should just copy and paste this messageto my blog... I suppose there might be a couple others thatwill remember we are from Kansas...
Give your family a big hug from SLG and Seb!
XOXO!
