The Queen and I Outran A Tornado Today!

Queeny: The calm before the Storm


Today, on our way home from Rivergate we encountered the most frightening thing. We were going north on I-65, when we were about to pass over Long Hollow where Metro Baptist and K-Mart were on the right. I looked out my left window and there it was! The funnel coming down out of the sky. We were SO scared! The tornado came down, flipped a car over behing us, went over the interstate and destroyed Metro Baptist Church! The hail was coming down so hard and so fast I could hardly see the road. Meanwhile, the tornado is still behind us. Gary called and was telling Queeny that we needed to turn around and go back. I'm thinking, "Is he CRAZY"?
He thought the tornado was ahead of us; we knew it was behind us. We made it to our house and ran inside. Being pelted with all the hail on the way to the door was not pleasant, trust me. Little Sparklepuff didn't utter a peep the whole time. Once in the basement, puff was under the desk, Queeny was in the corner wearing my bicycle helment, and I crouched under a chair. For what seemed like an eternity we waited, and waited. During this period of waiting, the terrible sounds were incessant. We just knew there would be no upstairs when we finally could venture forth to check out the damage. Upon opening the door, everything was fine. We were so shaken, yet so thankful. Now, after the fact, we know we are extremely blessed. As of now, there are nine confirmed dead in Gallatin. Sold out and Lukolas were kept at school and were spared the horror. Our hearts go out to all those experiencing unbearable loss due to the tornado we outran. The time is now12:15 am and the knot in my stomach is starting to ease some. I always wondered what it would be like to be a storm chaser. Now, I know what it's like to have the storm chase me. 

I Missed IT?!

Yes, I believe I did. Kevin Max was here last Tuesday night. I'm still wondering why I did not go to see him at the Exit/In. Maybe it had something to do with a certain Queen 'just not feeling it'. WHATEVER!!!!!!! HOW does one NOT feel Kevin Max? Maybe Queeny is getting old, and it was just too much trouble to go out(love you Queeny). Gosh! So here's to being practical and making choices about having too much to do, having to get up early, having to fill out camp applications..so on and so on. I just hope you can live with yourself after what you caused me to do..MISS KEVIN MAX!

This is Tin Pan Alley week in Nashville. Songwriters, singers and performers are everywhere. OK, I regret not going....I think if I blame it on HER, I'll feel better. A great guy called to see if I wanted to go. OK, I'm retarded!!! It's not her fault after all, I had 2 chances to go. Sometimes choices really bite!


On a more positive note:

The Nashville Film Festival will be April 21-26 if you want to come. I AM going to that (Lord willing).

Fairy Sighting.......It Must Be Spring

This little fairy has been seen locally and around town! It must be Spring! 

Happy Valentine's Day to one and all

Here's hoping your day is filled with love and sweetness.

What's this? Waltz night then band practice!

I would post the pictures of what everyone looked like after this, but not all involved would be happy about it. Let's just say that bed-head was running rampant, which I love. A wonderful time was had by all. No toast at midnight though. Waltz night will never be the same, but missed and longed for by all. Shall we plan another one? Yes, yes indeed!
