progress and the pool

As we went to the pool with some friends today, I was very excited to see some progress on my neighbor's home that was destroyed during the tornado on April 4. Poor couple...retired...sweet as they can be and their home destroyed in a few seconds. Almost makes me feel guilty. Our house didn't get any damage that day and it's truly a miracle because many of the houses on our street resemble this one. Keep many on Auburn Drive in your prayers...they have a long way to go before they have things back to normal. I just have to tell you about a funny story with Hannah and our neighbors with all the damage. Hannah loves to go visiting on the weekends on the street. We have several elderly neighbors and Hannah goes to see them. One day she came home with the most disturbed look on her face and said, "Mama, Mr. Tom likes OLIVES in his water. Isn't that gross!!!" :) I see Mr. Tom occasionally checking on his big rubble pile of a house and I think he must need a lot of olives in his water these days!

Well, today was the first day I could ease back into the sun after the third degree burns from the weekend. We stayed way too long but the kids had a ball. Always good to have some grown up talk time as well. Summer is most definitely here!!
