A Challenging Week....

Flowers_for_you

This week has been challenging to say the least. It started Wednesday when I was working at Canton. At 5:30 my Mother called my cell phone and told me she had fallen again and thought she had broken her left hip. Mother fell in her kitchen. Just last November she had fractured her right hip~ she was 5 1/2 months in recovery from that fall. It turns out Mother did fracture her left hip. She had surgery Thursday and is now resting well. So we start again with many trips to the hospital and then to rehab.

This weekend was Canton Trades Day~ I was there to help set-up on Wednesday, missed Thursday because of Mother's surgery. I did work on Friday and Saturday. Friday was the BIG TORNADO! As soon as Monica and I got to Canton the rain started then the wind started blowing very hard...We had no idea a tornado was headed our way. The alarm system for the city of Canton failed to work. That tornado went right over us, right over the Arbors..I had never heard wind blow that hard~ we heard all kinds of things falling and glass breaking. Then the alarm system went off (a little late) after the tornado past us. It flipped a truck in the road right in front of the entrance of Canton Trades Day~ A lot of the outside vender's received damages as well. I don't know if anyone was hurt...we were all OK. It's really scary to think what could have happened. That's the closest I've ever been to a tornado...

Please remember my Mother Margie in your prayers...
