Back in Joplin

Hello & Happy Monday!

It's been an emotional roller coaster since I last posted. We were on vacation back in PA when Joplin had an EF5 tornado rip thru the center of town. Our hearts were dampened somewhat while being home and wondering how things were in MO and worrying about Shawn's co-workers. Fighting thru all those emotions we made our way thru vacation and had a good time. Saturday, we headed back to Joplin to face whatever lied ahead. It was dark till we made it to town and didn't see anything. Sunday, we made our way out to grab groceries and what we saw was just heartbreaking! I took over 300 pictures and put half of them on Facebook. Seeing it on tv just doesn't do it justice...the magnitude is much worse. I could not fathom living thru that and the terror those people felt. I honestly don't know how anyone lived thru it. The destruction & devastation are beyond words. But thru the tragedy you can see hope as people are trying to get their lives back in order and all the help that has been made available to the victims has been awesome to see! I think Joplin will rise above this and be better than ever but it will take some time.....

So, today I was finishing up my checkbook & laundry and going thru some stamp stuff when I came across my June calendars and realized I never posted them on June 1st! With everything going on I totally forgot. My bad! Here they are....

Deb's Pure Innocence calendar I made for her. It was great seeing it hanging on her refrigerator while we were home!! :)

And then there is my Magnolia calendar which I just love! Well really I love them both! LOL

I guess i'd better get my butt in gear and get crack a lackin on my July one since July will be here before ya know it! Time is just flyin by!

Well, that's all I have for now!
Hubby will soon be in from work so I better get the salads made for supper!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
