And the photos...
Here are some photos near my daughters home in Alabama after the tornado. She and her husband are now relocated here in Oregon and I'm so happy they will live near me.

 They do all pitch in and help each other.

 You just can't believe what you are seeing.

 There are some things you don’t think about if you are not from tornado country. Like this pharmacy that was blown to pieces. It made me think of it like a giant piñata and the tornado the bat to bash it to pieces. The recipients would be every junky in town if it had not been for the local police force. They surrounded the area and the clean up was a priority.


I can't go on a trip without a little bird watching.

I was afraid they all would have been blown away, how could any small bird survive this.  But the next morning little flowers bloomed and the birds sang. You just shake your head in confusion.

 This was my first Cardinal a little female just outside the window, beautful.

 And at the end of the drive she meets up with Mr. Handsome

These three beauties we saw on the way home in Utah.

Have a great weekend and hug your loved ones.
