As the sun begins its ascent, many communities throughout the Midwest will finally get a glimpse of the mass destruction from tornadoes that raged through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio on Thursday evening. The reports of missing individuals and fatalities remain incomplete.

This morning, I will join Mama Kay, and two of her friends in an outing to see the daffodil fields in neighboring Oakwood, Smith Gardens, and then lunch at the newly established Blueberry Café, formally the Golden Nugget. Later this evening, I will be at Schuster Center.

The dogs have been fed, and already returned from pottying. I’ve returned to bed for a few more hours where I’ve been joined by my ever present snugglers, Hoskins, Harrigan, and Colonel Deeds.

Make it a great day!
