Kay~ Gotta tell you, I'm really enjoying your pics and info of your country. It's so interesting, all except those black flies. Those things are yucky!...

A friend of mine went to Belize many yrs ago w/Heifer Int'l. He is a photographer and his pics were spectacular. *yours aren't too shabby either.*

Hello everyone and have a good day.... there's a storm brewing here in IL.

I spoke to Renee this morning, 1:15am my time. She was having horrible spasms and didn't know if she should call an ambulance. I talked her through things and she finally relented and called an ambulance. She was having clonic spasms and they gave her morphine and other muscle meds. She was resting this morning around 8am my time. They still plan to drive later after she gets some rest. I think they should wait but mom and dad need to get back to their house. I honestly think the stress and physical work is taking it's toll on Renee. Please keep her in your prayers that they have a safe trip back to Arkansas.

Rain here today, looks like some bad storms brewing. My youngest is in Champaign where some bad ones are going through and coming. Jim and Chris are going with me for my test today.

oh, NaeNae !!

that's rough, right when you gotta DO stuff, MS rears its ugly head.

sending you cool soothing blue waves of healing calm energy.

and prayers too, natch.

:hug:

bring a little ice chest on the road, with a couple of ice-packs, sometimes that helps stop the leg cramps...

but don't leave 'em on too long, just a few minutes.

and keep your legs positioned so they won't cramp... bring extra pillows.

love and hugs, K

busy busy busy... putting together a box of clothes and food for people flooded out, who lost everything.

I don't have much, but it's so much more than some, that I have to share.

trying to find local contact info and a place to drop off the box now.

then, dinner at a friend's house, oh boy, gonna be a long day.

more hugs, love, and prayers, for Renee and Olivia, and parents, and for a safe easy drive.

Hi, I'll be here several times a day now...at least till mid September. I'll be bored & I just have the TV & the computer to be with. My kids are hardly ever home (work, school, or just with friends). And get this, My DH left on his business trip that will be to about mid September. (He gets to come home every 3 weekends though.) I'm sorta hungry & tired now, See Ya later.

First wave of storms has gone through. We are still under a tornado watch for another hour. Then we are supposed to get some more storms later this afternoon. I think they have forecast storms for everyday this week.

Not much is going on here. I am trying to do some child proofing of my house before my niece gets here.

Hi! Everyone. I'm new here and I have just been enjoying a nice read of this thread. I hope you are all doing okay. Mind you don't get blown away, those winds sound strong.

barb, My DH goes to Ottawa, Illinois. Do you know where that is? It's near Peoria, do you know where that is?
Oh no, I wonder how his driving will be doing? Accually, he is leaving at 3:00 (he has a meeting in town so he is at the office). But by the time many see this, I'll bet he is gone. Anyway barb, he is driving west from Ohio, on the Ohio turnpike. How's the driving weather do you think?
