Erin returns home today. Last night we had severe storms pass through and Erin is afraid of the storms. I hope she was safe in Dilia, but I would have felt better with her here.

The storms were severe as I mentioned above. Quarter size hail and ½ inch of rain in less than an hour. Once over, the National Weather Service called us. they were looking for details about the storm and since they have no monitors in our area, they rely on us.

We’re also experiencing tornadoes this year. TV tells me that this is not normal, but I disagree. In all our years here, we’ve only been aware of one or two twisters.

All our years here . . . . makes it sound like we’ve been here for a long time. Well, if you consider 20 years a long time, we have been here for a long time. We arrived here June 13 or14, 1994. We took over ownership of this place July 1, 1994. We left Illinois on my 40th birthday to head here to deal with licensing issues, prior to taking possession of the place, to ensure a smooth transition for our customers.

More about our 20 years here later in the month.
