I'm glad you're safe! I've seen several tornadoes, but they have all been the little ones. We used to get a lot of them this time of year in Wyoming. Though when we were in Illinois for my mom's burial, we flew into Chicago and were meeting my brother who had a later flight. So we went to see the Sears tower. We came down and it was pitch black outside which we thought was weird because it was July and only 4:30 p.m....we got something to eat and were heading back to the car to go pick my brother up when it started down-pouring. You couldn't walk 2 steps between awnings without getting completely soaked. Never seen anything like that. We got in the car and the tunnel we needed to get onto the highway was flooded and we finally heard on the radio that it was a tornado that had gone through. We had no idea. We had heard something announced outside while we were walking, but couldn't hear what they said. They must have been telling people to take cover. Oops. But in 2005 a tornado took out about half of my home town. It wiped out pretty much the entire trailer house section and most of the regular houses were damaged. I was so worried, because there was a family reunion in Kansas that weekend and my dad had talked of nothing but this reunion for 2 months and he called to say he was not going to be able to call me for about 2 weeks while he was away...and then I hear about the tornado and my cousin emails me to say my dad never made it to the reunion. I freaked out and spent 2 days trying to find my dad, no one was answering the phone. Turns out the day he was going to leave for the reunion, he realized his truck was due for an oil change. He was too tired to take it in, and he didn't want to go to Kansas without changing the oil...so he decided not to go. (That's SOOO my dad. He did the same thing for my brother's wedding...called me the night before to make sure I'd be available to give him directions, etc and then went off grid....decided he couldn't come to the wedding after all because he didn't approve, so he just didn't show up) The tornado had knocked out all the phone lines, so I couldn't get ahold of him. He slept right through the tornado....it ripped the roof off of his trailer, the hail broke out most of the windows...and he slept through it, didn't even know there had been a tornado.The storms are over, and we were missed. We are under this watch until 6 p.m. I've only seen one tornado, since I've lived here, over 20+ years. They are rare in the mountains. Much more common in eastern Colorado. I told this story once before, we vacationed in Colorado for years in the summer. We always stopped in Burlington, Colorado....it border's with Kansas. We got our room at a small hotel , one story at the time, next to the Pizza Hut. We had our doggie, Freddy with us. He stayed in the room, while we got a pizza to go. To make a long story short. A tornado, hit the Pizza Hut, and tore off the roof, while we were waiting for the pizza. I was afraid for our doggie, so we paid for the pizza and left, before it was finished. We came back to a very scared doggie hiding under the bed. That was a good thing, as the hail broke out the picture window, of all the rooms. We put on the "weather" channel, for the time. It was a picture of a weather vane showing the wind direction. To make this long story , short. The vane was hit, and off flew the Weather indicator. It was at 120 mph. At the time it was scary. With all the hail and wind. Nothing other than that happened. We laugh about this when ever we travel through Burlington.
Of course, he's 20 miles out of town, so perhaps it was just the outer rim of the storm that hit there. He's so lucky! Only MY father could be so oblivious that -I- would know about the tornado that hit his ranch before he did while I'm on a completely different continent.

We were both fine. We heard he went down late before the concert. But we had been told that he usually didn't go down afterwards, he almost always went BEFORE the concert, so we were there early and waited until the concert was supposed to have started already. It was supposed to start at like 8 and it was 8:15, so we assumed he just wasn't going to come down. So we went and took our seats not to miss the concert and I guess just after we gave up, he went in, so we just missed him. Disappointing, but we lived.

Yes, hubby definitely learned after the Mothers Day 2 years ago. Today, he let me sleep in and he helped the kids make me breakfast, and I got my yoga mat and weights so I can go further with my workouts. And he got me roses.Happy Mother's day to you too. I hope you get something special, or maybe a meal , cooked by other's. That's the absolute best gift. No cooking on Mother's Day.

I'm a bit of a sad mommy today. We took my baby shopping for summer attire and he got everything from the men's department The kicker was while we were at the mall he asked us not to walk too close to him He spotted one of his buddies and wound up hanging out with her for a while until her mom told her they had to finish shopping.

Thank you. I leave next Sunday morning on the first flight! I'm mostly excited about the new ice cream store at the Boardwalk area--I can stroll over there from the Swan!
And, oh yeah . . . I'll go to the parks, too!

Violetta is a Disney show. It started in Argentina and was picked up by Disney and they've had it on the Disney Channel across Europe and in most of the Spanish speaking countries and MAYBE Australia? The show ended after 3 seasons and now they just released a movie. "Tini: the New Life of Violetta" But I didn't know if they ever played the show in the U.S. so I was wondering if the movie was coming out there. It would be nice if it did, because then maybe there would be merchandise we could pick up when we get there in July. DD LOVES the show and was desperate to see the movie so we went on Friday.what is tini and violetta?
never heard of these

Hee, hee . . . well considering I don't really plan anything, your guess is as good as mine regarding food options at Disney Springs. I'm sure I'll get over there one of the days and look around--more stores and restaurants will be open this year, than last May when I scouted out the new places. Although I like to try new eateries, it's really hard for me to walk by either Earl of Sandwich or Wolfgang Puck's Express without going to one of them. They're my favorites down there. (I also have coupons for both of those by the way, and also for Ghiradelli for ice cream.) Speaking of ice cream, it just might be two ice cream places I'll go to when I'm down there--Ghiradelli and the new one on the Boardwalk.
My budget really doesn't allow for TS meals. If I did have the extra $, I'd go to that new Japanese restaurant and/or the The Boathouse in D. S. Those both look really, really good. I hope you get to go to one of those when you go on vacation with your family.
