We are under heavy tornado alert all day. For us, that means getting important papers and vital information to the cellar under our car port. We have room for about 8 to ten people besides Ted and I and Ellie and the girls. I will have to clean up down there, it is cobwebb city. It is chilly outside but just wait until the warm air from the gulf hits!! I spent two hours cleaning up the back yard yesterday and alas the storm will make it all to do over. We have learned from friends that one's papers with insurance policies etc are the most vital things to try and save. Every year, I say that we will photograph the interior of the house because it is so hard to itemize for insurance companies without a reminder. I took Jose with me yesterday when I visited friends and he got to visit dog friends. He loves to go anywhere but he fears being left behind, particularly with my DIL. We exchange dog sitting so they are aware that they may have an extended stay. Keep your fingers crossed for all of us in tornado alley. May is a dangerous month for us.
