Record Hail
The storms missed us last night. Some of the pictures of destroyed cars and buildings were crazy. The huge pieces of hail smashed cars and trucks to smithereens and even broke through buildings. Matt Devitt weather man posted pictures of some of the hail that came down near Kankakee. We are SO thankful the storm missed us.
Some of the hail stones were 6 inches diameter which is a record for our area.
We only got a quarter of an inch of rain but had lots of wind, lightning and thundering during the night. It was not raining at walk time. Mom was up so Joan, Ruth, Diane and I walked. We stopped at Mike's barn to check it out. It was pretty chilly outside at 39 degrees but felt warm in his new barn.
Joan was able to get and appointment for the yellow male cat to be neutered today and took him on her way to play practice so I went to mom's to stay until Diane arrived. That cat had been spraying and must have visited the stall barn. The smell was pretty strong. By the time I got home the temperature had dropped even lower and it was snowing mixed in with the rain.
Dan, Susan and Levi arrived to work on the wedding decorations at the barn. They brought in a 10 foot tall wood backdrop for pictures. It took all Susan, Levi and me to hold it up while Dan put in bolts. That thing is heavy!
The walls are up, the lights are up, the carpet had been laid, the chairs are in position and the arch is up. I was bringing 2 or 3 chairs at a time but Levi was bringing 8 at a time. These young men are so strong!
I came back to the house at 4:00 pm, took a nice hot leisurely shower and got ready for church. We picked up Mackenson and Berlica as Joan stayed with mom tonight. Caleb Plattner had the message on the reconciliation of Jacob and Esau. Click HERE if you would like to watch that. After church we went to Culvers for a late supper. Faith took the kids home after supper as when we finished eating we were more than ready to go home and go to bed. Us old folks just can't stay out late anymore.
