was the top speaker.. highest in her class .. so proud... we are heading for Denver in the morning but not before we stop and visit with one of our Cuties Sue Duffy in Dayton, Ohio.. We drove thru Joplin 2 days before the tornado tore it apart... God has been with us on this journey of ours, I can truly say this .. we have had to go in my daughters basement because of a funnel not far away.. the wind was blowing so bad.. I am trying to keep up on some of my downloads... but I am sure I have missed a ton.. anyway huggs for all and be back the second week of June... Kathy...

Hi Kathy, I'm so glad you have been safe during this horrendous tornado season.
Your sewing room will be just the same when you get home, but your Granddaughter marked a moment in time. You will always be glad you were there to share in her joy and accomplishments. Stay safe and enjoy your family!
Hugs, Jan

Be safe on your trip. I recently came through the area of Birmingham that was hit a month a go. I have never seen any thing like this close up. The news flashes it so quickly and the TV is over so quickly. Did you take photos or were you able?

Kathy, I did worry about you going through that area - wasn't sure how quickly you were traveling - glad you made it safely - it is too bad how the weather has treated that area - so happy for you with the graduations and all the wonderful visits - please give Sue a hug from me, too. I hope you take pictures. Travel safely to Denver, once you leave Ohio. That can a long lonely drive if you are going through NE.

How wonderful. Doesn't it seem kids are growing up so quickly. Glad you've had a safe trip so far. Congratulations on your grand daughters graduation. Sounds like she will go far! Stay safe.

Just to let you know, while you are gone I checked your garden for you, which is big and beautiful. I did some watering while I was there! Enjoy the flowers!

Have a great trip and keep safe. Watch out for the other drivers. Congrads on your GD graduation. DeVon

have a safe trip. Where did your daughter graduate from in Ohio. My daughter went to John Carroll University and graduated in 2002.
