Bring on the rain ...

     
     Wow. What a few days of weather. Blair and I  (as well as my parents in GA) are all safe and sound. Thank you everyone for checking in. 
     Here in Nashville, it was a crazy almost two days of weather. Since the floods last year, the Nashville weather "peeps" have done a fabulous job of warnings and notice. We were prepared with our weather radio, flashlights, and bottle water hours in advance. 
     And let me just say THANK YOU to our weather radio. Though it did keep us up almost all night long, it also kept us safe. We spent most of the night and the next day running to the basement about every 15 minutes. As soon as we would come up, it would go off again, and back to the basement we'd go. Thankfully, we came out unscathed. So many families and towns were not so lucky and are absolutely devastated. Seeing such devastation brings back memories of our floods last year. You almost feel alone, and even forgotten, like the world continues on .... while you and your lively hood are left to disappear in front of your eyes. My heart goes out to everyone effected. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. We see you, we hear you ... and we are there for you.
