Another beautiful day in the Ham. Gosh its always amazing how mother natures wrath can be so mean and scary and do so much damage and then boom, beautiful days to follow. Rick was telling me that the projects in Tuscaloosa were hit really hard and there are actually about 2 dozen misplaced babies. The parents are gone and there aren't family members to claim them. They are being kept at the hospital for now until they can become ward's of the state. My friend Laurie works at our vet's office and she will be helping with collecting items for misplaced animals. she said that yesterday was really sad at work b/c people were coming in to board their pets b/c they don't have anywhere for them to go. Also, some people were coming in to visit their pets b/c they've been there for a day or two and they miss them. Bryan Tate, a friend of ours in T town said that people are sort of walking around carrying suitcases in a daze. Alabama told students to go home. If they're happy with their grades then they don't need to be there to take their final. One of the bus drivers from Bumpus was killed. He was staying with his brother in Pleasant Grove and they were all in the shelter. He thought the storm was over and he said he was going up to bed. He opened the door and bam the tornado was right there and it sucked him up and carried him out and dropped him in a pasture. Alabamians are great at pulling together just as most Americans are. As Rick Leventry says, "tornadoes really do happen here."

Now on to the royal wedding. Again, I really didn't get into it as it just seemed a bit silly with everything going on around me. But I did love Kate's dress and who wouldn't love to marry a prince??? What I can't believe is that Charles and Diana's wedding was 30 years ago. That is crazy to me!! I think Jennie Efinger had a birthday at the country club the day of their wedding. Kate seemed so much more confident than Diana. Diana was so young. Kate has been with William for a long time, she wasn't just thrown into the royal spot light. or the world spot light for that matter. I'm loving on facebook all the sisters picking which Middleton girl they are. Pippa stole the show, she is beautiful and she is the younger sister so I would be Kate I suppose which is fine because at the of the day Kate is the princess!
