Joplin, MO

It is hard to do much of anything today but think about the tornado that destroyed Joplin last night. The pictures are just shocking, it is total devastation. I heard this morning from our pastor dropping off Ashley for school that St. Mary's Catholic Church in Joplin was destroyed.
Wow is about all I can say. Not sure what if anything we can do here... just an hour away. Probably best to stay away and let the rescue workers do their thing. My thought and prayers are with the town of Joplin.
After the 10 minute storm we got here, we had the most beautiful rainbow. It was hard to take a picture since it was East of us and we had a tree line in front of us. God definitely works in mysterious ways.

Small Town Blues

We ripped up our counter tops tonight, because they are installing our new counter tops tomorrow!!

Since our kitchen was a mess I headed to Taco Bell to pick up some dinner. I ordered a chili cheese burrito (AKA chilito) and the guy on the other side informed me that they didn't have chili cheese burritos, then when I got to the window he asked again what I ordered. Then looked at me like I was crazy because he had never heard of such thing. NO chili cheese burritos for me :(

P.S. I don't watch Bachelor Pad (but my sister in law does) but I had the channel on while blogging. I just saw the announcement for the new cast of Dancing with the Stars. Kurt Warner!!! Wow I might just have to start watching again.

Rush Hour Traffic

I experienced rush hour traffic in our new small town yesterday. Well let me say this.... you can't even call it traffic, because there was none. Nope, nada, non-existant. I heard the traffic report on the radio as I was headed into town for a doctors appointment and luck had it there was a "fender bender" on the road I was actually driving. I drove past said fender bender going 60 mph. LOVE IT!
