Safe and sound

Things have calmed down in the area since Thursdays' bad weather moved through. It is unusual to have tornadoes in the area in the winter, but we did have some. Thankfully, no one in the immediate area was killed or severely injured. Television broadcasts Thursday afternoon and evening were all about the weather, taking over the airwaves to the exclusion of everything else. The storm front entered the area very strong and weakened as it proceeded east. There have been reports that two houses were destroyed locally, but we haven't heard any details as to exactly where the houses were located.

Jacqueline's birthday was also on Thursday. She turned 17. We didn't have a party this year. I haven't even had a chance to make her a cake. I guess I'll do that this weekend. She received some phone calls from family members wishing her a Happy Birthday, and I know those calls thrilled her.

Randy is about the same, maybe a slight improvement. He says he still doesn't feel good, but has been a little more active the last couple of days. Whether it is due to actually feeling better or because he is following my suggestion of trying to have small amounts of limited activity in an attempt try and rebuild his strength and stamina. I know he is not going to regain any of his strength if he continues to do nothing. I don't know if he can regain any of his strength, but we won't know if he doesn't try.
