Today I am writing about something a bit different but feel like sharing. If you have been keeping up with our blogs you should remember that we had to put our RV into the shop for two weeks and go live with some friends. Well while we were with this couple (Glenn and Priscilla Peer) Glenn was diagnosed with a very serious type of cancer. So maybe it was God's design that we were there for them since John has had cancer. We were able to give them some support since we understood what they were going through and we also provided them with a major distraction.
Since that time they made the decision to go to MD Anderson for a second opinion and will be down there at least a week. Well they have a large home with lots of plants, dogs and cats - oh yes and a bird. So we moved back into their home with our girls on Tuesday and are taking care of the kingdom. We have a bathtub for a few days and a real treat is they have a large hot tub in the back yard that is ready to go. So we are loving on all the critters and enjoying their lovely home.
Please keep these dear folks in your prayers while they see the doctors. We pray for some good news.
Last night lots of major storms rolled through the State and we stayed glued to the TV all night as they always seem to come through the Moore/SW Oklahoma city area where we were located and I truly hate wind. Nothing like trying to round up 4 dogs and 2 cats plus ourselves into an interior closet if need be. Yes, the closet is big enough for all of us and is buried in the middle of the house. Tornadoes were hitting the ground in the Lawton area and lowerings were in Chickasha and headed toward the area where our RV is parked. Then the sirens were sounded near there. I looked at John and said well if we were home we would be headed for the tornado shelter at that point and yes I hear that about 12 others were there as well. Where we are it just poured and poured, a short bit of small hail and wind occurred but the tornadoes, large hail and very high winds seemed to be north and south of us. Thank goodness. I think we had 2-3" of rain which we really needed for the continued long-term dought. I had all our stuff in a pile near the hidey hole and kept the dogs in a confined area so they wouldn't be hard to round up but all was well and God protected us.
I don't sit well during these storms so I did all our laundry which kept me up and down and hugging on Glenn and Priscillas' dogs and cats. John felt sorry for them as they stay in the back area of the house but there is a TV back there so he turned it on for them and they really did seem to get some comfort from that.
This morning it is very cool outside and once again winter seems to still be hanging on a bit. Maybe by June we might see some consistently warm temperatures?
I hope everybody has a great weekend.
