Push Me Now Mommy!!

Uploaded: June 04, 2008

Description

Thought I would try this in color with ableach bypass filter and a slight sepia tint.

We have had some ROUGH weather since this past weekend. We lost out internet and TV (fiber optic cables) last Saturday morning about 2 AM. They were finally able to get to us and get us a new modem and we were up and running yesterday. But bad weather struck us again. Several tornados have touched down this week and there is still more to come tonight. I woke up this morning to our street flooded and all the way up into our front yard (first time for this to happen). We have been lucky. Tornados have touched down close to us, but we have survived and no damage to our house. We ahve been blessed and lucky. Many others around us have not been so lucky.

I am in the process of catching up with everyone. I haven't forgot about all my BP friends.

All feedback, advice, and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking!

This is beautiful. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear that you have been safe.

We JUST came back up from the basement because of funnel clouds being spotted. NO touch downs though, at least near us. They did evacuate the airport's tower because of the high winds, etc. School buses IF they had left the schools returned to them. Oh! The "fun."

STAY SAFE!!! I'm so glad to know all is OK. #935359

This is PRECIOUS Amber! I love the subtle coloring and wonderful light and POV! So happy to hear you are safe and able to join us again. I know how it is not having your internet for days, I lost mine a week ago for 5 days, not much fun. Keep safe and know you are in my thoughts and prayers! Shannon~ #6021957

This is absolutely beautiful. One of my all time favs out of you! Everything workds perfectly here!!

I know exactly how you feel. Our weather has been the same way. We have spending ALOT of time in the basement lately. So far no touch downs around us, but lighting struck and oil tank the other night out in a rural area about 10 miles away. Hang in there and stay safe! #6022806
