No Such Thing As Climate Change?



You all have probably been watching weather reports across the country, and of course, saw the news about the tornadoes in Ballinger, San Angelo, and Abilene. I have been concerned about JUNE HASH CURRY who lives just north of Oklahoma City in Edmond. She and I stay in touch during these wild weather predictions. This morning after I texted her to see if they were missed by the storms, she responded thus:

"Thanks to God, all the damage we know of is three sections of our backyard fence. Thanks so much for your prayers. I know without a doubt they were heard.

Last night I had asked her if she and Chris had a safe place to go, and she said "No special place to go other than a closet. All schools are closed and Chris’ dentist office called and canceled, so this area is really battened down. We are safely in God’s hands no matter what the storms do, so do not worry about us, sweet friend."

Sighs of relief. They were safe and so were three of my daughter's children. Ashlyn is in Amarillo. Their two "surrogate children" of whom she and her husband are guardians, Bruce in Amarillo and Annie in Stillwater, Oklahoma were all unaffected by the wild weather overnight.

I heard on the news last night that snow was predicted in Colorado. Surprised, but not thinking it would be in the area where GENE ROUTH lives, I was shocked when about fifteen minutes ago I received the following:
"I know you resident Texans have had tornadoes, rain, wind and floods but have you had a snow ‘Bomb' on May 21???"

Unbelievable, GENE! No snow bomb..no snow! In fact, I woke up hot this morning and checked the thermostat. My house temperature was still 78 degrees! I didn't think to turn the a/c down before going to bed.

GENE sent the following photos..



Beautiful pictures, GENE, but what is the temperature? Surely not freezing!

DENNY HILL leaves tomorrow for his summer stay in Warsaw. He and I have had some pretty intense conversations regarding the Boeing 737 MAX planes that have had to be grounded. I said I would probably be hesitant to fly any of their planes after the horrible crashes and the resulting scandal about Boeing's management of their engineering and maintenance. DENNY said he assumes he will be flying on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, as that's the usual one he flies on. Happy summer, DENNY. (And safe flying!)

Anyone else have any photos to share? Graduations, weddings, weather, vacations? I hope to have wedding photos of my granddaughter's wedding coming up June 1st. Should be fun. Outdoors at daughter Carajean's Lake Travis home. I hear they are leaving the reception not by car, but by boat

Peace and good weather!
