Before they arrived, we went to Katherine Trenchard's art exhibit by Woodlawn Lake. Here's Carlene in her beautiful old house. She does intricate paper cuttings. If you didn't make it this year, I recommend trying to see her work at next year's walk.
During the night, we were all awake half the night due to a powerful storm. We got heavy wind and rain, but two miles away a tornado struck down at Broadway and Nottingham, Charlotte's condo getting most of the damage. At this point, no one can get in or out, but Charlotte, thankfully, is in Dallas and missed it. Large air conditioning units flew into the windows of some apartments, but no one was hurt as far as I know.
Today, after NIA, I had two biopsies on my back, then we caught up from some of last night's missed sleep and watched Mr. Church. Sitting on the porch later, we had some visitors--Crystal and Tequila (or Tiki) who were going door to door collecting donations for a project to help young single mothers. We had so much fun talking to them. They are lively young women with stories to tell--living in shelters and abuse; they are part of this project as a way to contribute to their families and help them move into careers that will make them better able to provide for their children.
