It is Upon Us




Kurt has officially been inducted into my annual celebration of the arrival of Tornado Season. Each April I watch "Twister" in order to welcome in the springtime, and with it, the fury of Mother Nature. I had warned Kurt about this annual festival many times but I think there was a voice in the back of his head that kept saying, "She must be joking." I was not joking.
Friday night, he and I watched the movie and I recited many of the lines along with the characters.
Since then, I have gotten word from my sister that she and the boys spent Friday evening and Sunday afternoon in the basement, listening to the tornado sirens blaring outside. As I sit and type this blog, a warning just came over the television that Cook County (aka Chicago) is under a tornado watch.

I love springtime.

Torndao season is officially upon us. May this season spare the destruction of homes and the loss of lives.
