I Feel The Earth, Move, Under My Feet.........

literally this morning. Many of us here in the Midwest got a shock this morning when we felt our beds and homes shake, rattle and roll. There was an earthquake located near West Salem, Illinois this morning and was felt as far away as Des Moines, IA and Atlanta, GA.

Here is a link to the article on the AP news wire: Earthquake Shakes Midwest

I woke up hearing the handles on our dressers rattle. I thought one of the kiddos had come into the bedroom and bumped into the dresser. So I turned on the light and they started rattling again and I saw the ceiling fan move. It lasted for 10 seconds roughly. So I turned on the radio waiting for the local news and sure enough we had an earthquake. The kiddos were mad because they slept through it, LOL!

Ya, long time, no post. We've been busy around here and it will get crazier with softball and T-ball starting now and planting just around the corner. I can't complain, it is good to be busy.

Later...................

February..........

Flooding. We've had all our snow melt plus 3 inches of rain in two days and this is what happens. The first 4 are taken at the Fort Grounds at the Library and the last one is from the Domersville Rd. bridge. Right now the river is at 17 1/2 feet and they are sand bagging around the library. Findlay and Ottawa are flooded again, second time in 6 months. Mother Nature must have hit menopause or something..............................

Where Does the Time Go?

Seriously. seems like January has flown by, which is fine by me because that means that Spring is getting closer. With the winter weather we've missed the maximum days of school and now have to make up one day and I'm sure we will see more snow in February. Usually we get at least one more good snow storm before it warms up. Since January can be boring the elementary has "Jazzy January" where they take one day a week and do something crazy. The pick below is the "Wild Hair" day.

I didn't get a pic of "Western Day" or "Crazy Hat" day. This month they have "Fabulous February" and I'll dp better getting more pics......enjoy.
