TORNADOES!!!

Last night, we knew we were supposed to have bad weather. We had planned on going to Red Lobster for dinner (we hadn't eaten there in years and love their biscuits). When Mar got home, we tried to plan our dinner based on the weather.  We decided if we went right away, we would get home before the storm hit. Well, we planned it just about perfect..just about.  Right as we were paying our ticket, the sirens started going off.   
Ellie was so scared.  She had never in her life heard tornado sirens.  We were laughing because we hear them all the time. None of us were scared.  The only time I'm scared of tornadoes is if I'm not at my actual house or in a different town or part of town.  Our area has never been hit so I'm just not scared.
Ellie scared.  I have to admit, the sky did look scary. Fortunately, the wind wasn't blowing yet so I wasn't scared we were going to get blown away.
I left my iPhone at home so I grabbed Macy's phone to take pictures.
Okay, the sky looked scary! The clouds looked like a funnel was going to come down and touch at any moment. 
I was glad when we got home.  We all went and looked at the weather out the front door. The sirens were blaring and the wind was CRAZY.  It was also hailing. You can see it in this picture.
Hail....Ellie was so worried about her car. We thought about putting blankets on it but we couldn't even get them out there in time.  Plus, Mar said they would have just blown away.

Watching...Ellie said, "I don't think this is a good idea" and came back in.

Watching. For some reason this video is darker than it was on my computer and it's a little hard to see.
Later on, I saw this picture on Facebook!! WHOA!!!! It was taken from Baptist.
LOOK at this!! SCARY!! This was taken from Baptist, too.  It is so sad because Vilonia (about 25 miles from here) was hit really bad.  There were 7 deaths and there was a 3 mile wide, 15 feet long trail where the tornado hit.  AND, we're supposed to have another round tonight.  Matter of fact, south Arkansas is under a tornado warning right now and there has been GRAPEFRUIT size hail reported.  :s Macy just texted me and said the Weather Channel storm chasers are in Arkadelphia but that it is actually sunny there right now.  The weather has been so crazy! It's supposed to storm tomorrow, too!! I can't wait until Thursday when there is a 0% chance of rain!! YAY!!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

Nashville Trip

Once again, it has been SO long since I have done a blog post. I think with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and all the other social media, I get overwhelmed. I haven't posted a Facebook album in so long, though, so I really wanted to start blogging again to be able to remember! This might be my last post for 2 years again, though! LOL! We will see. We took a business trip last weekend to Nashville (first time to ever go to Nashville) and it was so fun because on this business trip, Macy and Kevin got to come with us! I haven't written on here yet about it, but Kevin is now working for the same company Lamar works for and we are just THRILLED about it!!!  Our weekend trip actually started on a Thursday. The morning started with my first visit to the ER ever but more about that in another post. I was okay and am so so thankful for my precious dad who took me there and we got to bypass the waiting room. I have continued to be blessed by my Dad and his love for the Lord and oth...
