Re: More crazy weather

So happy for you Pam. You're putting out all your buckets & barrels to catch some extra, right? Hope you get weeks of rain and no tornados. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Evans" <gardenqueen@gmail.com>

Prez is a big puss.  I've been standing on my front porch leaning into the
wind looking for twirlies.  We haven't had more than a trace of rain in I
don't know how many months so this is REALLY exciting.  Going back out now
thank you.  Praying Betsy is fine though.

I'm really glad you are not getting tornadoes.  They were all over the
weather map east of Dallas on the news this afternoon.  I heard the prez
had
to be evacuated from Crawford to go sit in an armored car outside a
shelter.
Now, we have to hear from Besty.
