Weird start to day

  the power went off at 12:38 this morning and came back on around 3:30 shortly after we got up ....the storm blew through pretty fast and we had no damage but something did happen in Cassville. Also, a tornado touched down in Buffalo and in Branson. Six altogether in the state. High wind damage also. 30 injured in Branson area...glad we mostly slept through it. I woke up just seconds before the power went out because of the wind. Just a couple of minutes after the power went the storm was gone and I went back to sleep. Yay! Alarms went off on time - called power company and they were already on it and a few minutes later- lights came on.
  Sun is shining and it's around 50*. Gonna be a beautiful windy day. 15-20 mph winds .....rain for the month-3.7" at least plus 1/2" of snow....
  We (I use the term lightly)turned Jeanne out with the other horses yesterday. No limping but she hasn't actually worked it. Maybe this weekend we'll throw at least a saddle on her and see how she does.
Sandi came and picked me up Monday morning early so we could meet mom at her dentist appt. She told the home folks she was afraid and wanted family there. Pretty much was just a way to get us to show up and visit with her about living with Sandi again. That hasn't changed any. Her memory's are still confused and not all there. She wasn't sure if she still owned the house in Oregon but knew she had money in the bank. She offered to help buy a trailer for them all to live in. I've got no problem with that but I think Char will. She doesn't want to lose "the bed" at the facility. Who cares? There will always be a bed somewhere.
  It's hours later now and they just reported that a woman in Cassville was thrown from her mobile home on the north end of town and killed in this morning's storm. It wasn't just an overturned big truck that Tim had to drive around on the way to work. What a day for the folks around the Ozarks.
