Last night in Lincoln we had huge lightning and thunderstorms, and this morning we found out that we were just ahead of a record-breaking number of tornadoes for Minnesota. We are hoping and praying that all our friends are safe and sound. We left this morning with dark skies and wind, but by the time we reached Kearney, we had brilliant blue skies, and not a cloud in sight. This is the first time we've seen this in 6 months!
Torie did great, as usual. She had 475 miles of chips, string cheese, gummy worms, turkey,and milk. We crossed into "Colorful Colorado" and saw these lumpy things on the horizon...
our beautiful Rocky Mountains! I cried at the state line...what a relief to have been so far, and to be returning. Just as relieving was to be here with Uncle Shaun. He has been our rock through all this. Since the beginning, he has given Torie, and the rest of us, 100% of his support. Torie knew exactly where we were, and even from a block away said, "There Uncle Shaun house!" And now, a good night to all, and Vic-Torie!
Oh, I am so glad that you will all be home tomorrow! Hey Torie-nado, the tornadoes are still following you. They nailed Iowa today just behind you guys. Better warn Fort Collins to expect tornadoes tomorrow afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that tomorrow is now today. See you today. Hurray!
