UPDATE! Last night when we were reviewing our recent postings, we (Willie and/or I) noticed that we had forgotten to 1)include a photo of the infamous toilet bowl races, 2) mention our early morning wake-up call, and 3) share with you the after effects of eating Blue Bell "Super Hero" ice cream! So here goes.... These racers ARE motorized and can really scoot, even doing wheelies!

Our wake-up call came at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning....the warning siren about 100 feet outside our rig went off...first with the traditional "WOOH, WOOOH, WOOOOH" that went on for what seemed like forever. Then we heard "PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A TORNADO WARNING. TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY....DO NOT DELAY." That will definitely wake you up....with an adrenaline rush, to boot! So we were obedient and left our rigs to go to the designated shelter. After about fifteen minutes it was all clear, so we returned to our rigs none the worse for wear....unless you count elevated blood pressure! We were blessed to have no damage in our immediate area, but the tornado did touch down about ten miles from Shocco Springs and did some minor damage. As for the after effects of "Super Hero" ice cream....Willie had been warned that his tongue would turn blue. It did. Along with his teeth, his gums, and his lips. All short-lived, thank goodness. What they didn't warn him about was the AFTER after effects.....like the next morning....also bright blue!!! Need I say more?!!!

On that note, have a wonderful and blessed day!
