A Twista!!

Although Yes I am almost a week behind I would be ungrateful if I had not mentioned this historic tragedy so close to me. Last Wednesday June 1, 2011 here in MA there was a twista! From what I have heard, unsure of the truth, it has been over 100 years since tornados have been here. I was in a word quite surprised when I turned on the television to find out a tornado was threatening Springfield. This is about an hour from me so although alarming I still felt safe....that is until we went into tornado warning affect! If it would have been just me I think it may have been less threatening, but being in charge of a baby, especially one that is not my own added to the worry. Promptly I got a bottle ready and his diaper bag a necessities I thought could keep him good for some time should anything happen. Luckily we were okay and actually he fell asleep in my closet amongst the excitement! I recently had just moved into the basement which was perfectly convenient. Unfortunately there is still a large window in my room, which with a twista is not that convenient. Well we did experience wind and very loud thunder with lightening. Although we made it okay it is unfortunate the damage that comes from such a quick and unpredictable storm. Everyone seems to be jumping in to help those that were affected. How grateful I am for service and those that care to help our fellow men. Our lives can change in an instant so I hope to continue to make the best of it.

Lark Rise to Candleford


For my birthday this year my mother sent me season 1 of Lark Rise to Candleford. Having a hard time even remembering the name of it I had no idea what it was about. All I knew was that my mom said the accent took some time to get used to and that it was clean and a beautful scenery, therefore my dad loved it as well!

Not to my suprise my mom was right once again. I can usually agree with her good taste in shows, she is after all where my love for great music and classic shows came from. This show is in her words "sweet." It has some familiar faces and probably more than I now realize. Just today I realized Dorcas is played by the same actress who played Lydia in BBC's version of Pride and Prejudice. Apparently there are 4 seasons and as I am only in season 2 and sad to think it will end. Hope that you enjoy this as much as I do!
