We had a really nice visit to Florida. P had to work but the kids and I had the week off together. We drove down on a mission to get gator clothes, get G to a Dr., and visit Lois. We also enjoyed visiting Grandma C and Grandpa S, visiting Rock Springs, aunts L and E, friends at the beach, many playgrounds and visiting uncle S on the way home.
The part that didn't go so well was driving home the last hour into a tornado zone! I'm used to Hurricanes and didn't see anything obvious like a funnel cloud so we just kept going north. Scary times included pulling over to the side of the road near a cliff/bluff as tornado sirens blared around us. Pulling over to a gas station when our phones all went off after we crossed into the North AL tornado warning zone. We were supposed to immediately seek shelter, preferably underground. But I didn't have a way to do that. So we prayed and got back on the road. We did get home safe and it was exhausting.
While we were gone P found a royal star magnolia for me and planted it in the front yard. We recently agreed that was the tree to fill the hole in the front yard. It's so cute. It is an early bloomer and has many petals. It doesn't grow huge and I'm so excited that he found one and planted it for me. I have so many flowering trees and I just feel so lucky.
