Yawn

Quite a boring weekend and rainy and grey and stormy and high winds.  GEEZ!!  One of those chilly, grey days that cries NAP, but I didn't.

I did get a few things done.  Little Evan's 3rd birthday is next Sunday, so I made him a card.

He's still in love with anything Elmo.  I even put a little Elmo on the bottom left corner of the envelope.

======================

Then I drove to Walgreen's in Brighton and although they told me, they can only do 35mm slides-to-print, when I told the guy why I had to have my 126 slide printed, he said he'd try and after 45 minutes--this was the result.  Perfect!!  Picture of my parent's home in 1966.  He made me 3 prints and only charged me for one--$0.52.  Amazing.

I came home and watched the finish of the MSU football game in which they set a record by, playing 75 different kids in the game and winning 73-12.

Then, I got into Shutterfly and put my son Mark's farm collage together.  He lives on the farm where I was born and raised.

 I do not remember that ice house 

next to the back door

Can you see my play pen on the
right?

 =======================
We had a terrific wind storm during the night, with hard rain--it woke me up.  This morning, I heard there was an EF1 tornado touch-down about 15 miles east of me.  

I had just gotten back in bed and half asleep when I hear a loud THUD!  Something had fallen.  So, I got up again and walked through the house.

Remember this pretty bouquet?

This is what I found. 

I took a picture this morning.

Either we had an earthquake or a very

naughty cat, who's initials are

MAGGIE!

Then I took a look outside.  A lot of branches down and this.  My Purple Hyacinth Bean plant got blown over.

I noticed something else, when I came back inside.  What's that in the top of that tree, way over there?  Is it Elmo in that tree?

Zoom in to see--fall color in this tree. 

I hope this next week brings no surprises!!!
