Tall Tales: Hometown Days

Hometown Days

Well, we survived last night's storm. Walter and I spent some time in our dark basement due to a tornado warning and power outage. Thank goodness I brought my phone and some books to keep us busy. There was some concern about monsters, you see. But all is well. Amazingly, we had no damage, even with all these trees around us. Not everyone was so lucky – lots of trees and branches down. The town was buzzing with the sound of chainsaws all day.
Even with the storm last night, the Verona Hometown Days carnival was set up and ready to go. Grampa and Gramma took us and Walter's cousins, Emma and Ginny, over for rides and dinner. The kids had a great time. The rides were "Awesome!" Thanks, Gramma and Grampa!

Gramma said...: It WAS awesome!!! Thanks for coming out in the cold! I'm glad you got a picture of Emma in her "Barbie" jeep because I did not. Ginny says the roller coaster was one of her favorites yet this morning along with stopping at the top of the Ferris Wheel. Walter may go from train conductor to Fireman yet! I wanted to ring the bell too.; June 10, 2011 at 8:22 AM
