The other night, June 1st around 4:30  my daughter was turning the channel on TV when the news interrupted and said tornado warnings and that one had touched down.  Well this is huge news in New England, well for me anyways…from that moment on we were all glued to the TV.  The tornadoes caused a lot of horrible and tragic damage out in Western Ma and Central Ma where we live.  It was crazy.  I had all the kids, the pets in the basement three times while the super cells were going over head.  You have to understand, that just a few weeks ago I was saying we never get tornadoes and how lucky we are, well, guess what, we aren\’t that lucky.  My friends who live in Southbridge had serious damage, while another women, Stella, who is 89 didn\’t know there was a tornado warning and her whole house was damaged except for the living room where she was sitting.  She said her living room got very bright and the house started to shake and then she went outside to only find out that she just lived through a tornado!  How blessed is she?  My good friend in Southbridge takes care of her, that is how I know this.  My other friends still do not have power and they think maybe it will be back on come Sunday. Everyplace you go people are talking about it and apparently a funnel cloud touched down about 3 miles from my house because everyone is telling me about it. 
The lightning strikes were abundant, again, I never saw anything like this. 
Overall, we are safe and everything for us is back to normal. It was a stressful week and I am very glad it Friday.  I\’ll be visiting all my bloggy friends this weekend!  Time to catch up!

Have a great weekend my friends.

This week’s statements:

1. I despise the expression_______
2. I put _____ on my burgers
3. If I could have any view out my kitchen window it would be ___________
4. If money were no object I would _____________________

 My Answers

1. I totally despise the expression, \”drop dead\”…. I get very upset when anyone says that.  I always say, \”careful what you wish for\”… then that really starts an argument!
2. I put nothing on my burgers, why??? I don\’t eat hamburgers, I don\’t like them at all!  I like burnt hot dogs, but that will be another question for you to find out what I put on my hot dogs! My dogs like to eat them too! So what I don\’t eat, they finish! 
3. If I could have any view out of  my kitchen window, it would be the ocean.  I\’m 100% sure of that!  My kitchen window has a pretty view of woods and my pool.  I suppose that is a close second!
4. If money were no object I would hire a cook.  I would LOVE that!  More than a cleaning team!!! (Notice I said \”TEAM\”, you need that with all my pets) With any luck they would make sweet treats for my pets and burn my hot dogs just the way I like them.  How awesome would that be!

Have a happy day my friends!
