Someone asked of me, the other day, who was a certain gal I had maybe used as an avatar. I have tried to fine the post but haven't. If you are the one who asked and see 2this, asked again and I'll try to answer your question.
Yeah, it was grand-daughter. She is in Barcelona, Spain, dancing and learning Spanish by living there amonst the Spaniards.
While there she will determine what she want's to do in life. She is an American citizen and she is an Italian citizen, therefore a European citizen. A friend from the states got married in France and she went to the wedding. She spent seveal weeks in France. I have worried about her yet knowing what she is doing is one of the best things that could happen. She is gaining good experience, learning a language, not frm some course or through a university where one seldom learns to speak a language well, but living among her peers, who speak no English. That's a little bit like throwing a child in a pond or creek and saying swim or sink, only it was her choice. Ok, no more about Mia. I will continue to worry about her. I am old school. That's what old grandparients do. We can't help it. We worry and are proud, all at the same time. I know this is not something people care to read about. Knowing that, I will move on to something else.
I agree with Nancy, Bill. We do want to read it or we wouldn't be checking out your "diary" thread. We get a small peek into each other's daily lives and I enjoy it quite a bit. Thanks for sharing with us.
Yes, @Beth Gallagher, I was watching radar down youir way. Now it looks as though some of the southeast is due some stormy weather and then this northeaster going up the eastern seaboard. May be lots of wind.
We did have an EF1 tornado sit down in east Norman. Blew some roofs off farm buildings and traveled several miles on the ground in open country before lifting. It was the same one that passed over the OU campus. Straight winds today were twenty-five to thirty-five with gusts fifty-five mph. High winds tonight.
Oklahoma had thirty-one tornados in October, 2021. Most were EF1s and EF3s but that's more than we had in May which has always been the biggest month for these storms. We had more hail in central Oklahoma. April 28th we had a bad hailstorm. I had almost fifteen thousand dollars in damage which was paid. My new shingles got battered again in October. I haven't had them looked at after this recent hail storm. I'd like to have them looked at but don't plan to file another claim. New shingles that turn bad after one hailstorm are not good shingles and I got the best available. I didn't get my yard mowed this week due to rain, a slow steady life giving rain. I'm going to wait till first frost or freeze which should come next week then have it mowed one more time this year, then button up the place for winter. We usually get a freeze around halloween, but running a litt;le late this year. I still have been unable to get my windows replaced after the April 28th hail storm. I need about eight windows replaced, maybe ten, stormed windows and screens knocked out. I've got calls into Home Depot again and to some other window company. Seems there's a shortage all over the state on storm windows. If I had expensive windows knocked out, they are more readily available. I might have gotten them but didn't get on anyone's list, (didn't buy them). I think the reason is old age. I tend to forget some things.
