Stay Safe and you will be in our prayers!!!
 
xmas365, stay safe!

Hey Crown or Binger, is it acceptable to go to the Pines any night or just on Wednesday? Just curious.

Tomorrow, school is out for summer. I have to work all summer, but it's a bit more laid back than the school year. Alot of planning, organizing, etc, but it's not bad at all.

Think I'm going to read the boards for a while, drink coffee, and hang out with the wife. Not much on tv, so I'm going to maybe do some Christmas planning.

You know, it's funny...I've known people from my town all my life and I've only known this site for 2 years and it's people for various times....but no where do i receive the well wishes or thoughts concerning my safety like I do here.

Christmas makes people better and those who carry it year round make are kinder souls for it.
 
We got home around 8:30 and 5 minutes later the power came on. There are 150 electric crews working in the town and they did a great job returning power to us and down my street, I don't know about downtown, I can't believe they would since it is so bad down there. We will be going to help salvage some stuff at my aunts house. She told us her house, and also a friend of ours house were looted, what is wrong with people.

Here is a video of the town.

I have to babysit tomorrow for awhile and then help my sister make some more stuff for the bake sale saturday. So it is going to be a busy day. I'll take the laptop with me but I don't know if I will have a chance to get on. So I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY tomorrow!!!!!!!


Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!!

Hey friend -

I will be praying for your town and the people that have to rebuild their lives from this awful storm!

We are all okay. Our house is okay.


Just very traumatized I live in Monson, MA, and all the destruction and devastation happened a less than a mile from where we live, I know they have shown the big white church on the national news, we live less than 1/4 mile from there. What we have witnessed is so scary, the tornado went through our yard causing just branches to be knocked down and knocking over our swing. My aunt & uncle lost their house, friends of ours houses are completely gone neighborhoods are decimated the mountain looks like it was shaved trees broken like toothpicks. People were crying in the street, we were never ready for anything like this, we occasionally get tornado warnings but nothing ever comes of them. I am so emotionally drained right now trying to keep a straight face for the boys.The boys are scared every time they hear an airplane or truck they think its another tornado coming. I will post again when I can, we don't have any power, and are at a friends house two towns away. It sounds like a war zone where we live, lots of sirens rumbling trucks chainsaws.

We are safe and thanks for the concern.

Don't know how many of you know who Alice Cooper is, but those who do.....

SCHOOOOOOOOOOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!
 
Yes for a change it is lovely here as well - cracking the flags as they say!

I have had to get the sun cream out for the kids and apparently it suppose to be good weather all through June - but I'll believe it when I see it.

I am taking my eldest to see a concert tonight - band called Take That - takes me back to my childhood, then on Monday we are going to watch the xFACTOR auditions which should be a good laugh and we may even be lucky enough to hear the future winner!

All in all an exciting few days - Oh and my hubby is back from Korea tomorrow!!!!!! YAY:snowball:

Great song - I remember every year when we finished school singing that song!

Our schools don't finish until around 14th July so we have AGES to go before we can join in and sing it!
