GREAT RIDE

Today after school went for a ride. Decided I would ride to Yazoo and go on some of the back roads to see the tornado damage up close. It was unbelievable....houses , trees, cars....all just pushed up in piles like broken twigs. Seemed like I rode in it for miles. That thing went up and down hills missing nothing in its path.
There is no better time of the day to ride than at sunset. When the sun is setting over the tops of the trees, it forms a halo on the tree tops like a crown to GODs work. As I ride my mind goes totally free.........my sense of smell picks up the sweet odor of honeysuckle in full bloom, dirt as fresh as a summer shower, the fragrance of the broken trees from the tornado gives a spectrum of many woods. Passing area of woods the temperature in the air get a swift chill, this awaken me and brings me back into the moment.
Then I'm home ...the ride is over....and back to reality.
Have a great day.

Mother's Day is this coming Sunday. This is a time for all children to show the most important person to them , just how much they appreciate them.
As all children do they seem to overlook all the things that MAMA does for them. That Mom is the one and only person that is there for you NO matter what. She will stand by you, wipe your forehead when you are sick, put band aids on those Bow bows, and cry at your wedding. When you call ...she comes running. She is the one you can talk to about anything in the middle of the night. When you need a place to stay in the middle of the night...she gets up to unlock the door.
Your mother..........give her all you can . One day she will be gone.....then you would give anything just to have that one more talk or hug.
Mothers...they are your rock. Just tell her you love her and remind her how important she is to you.
Mama ... I love you even though you are gone. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY......you would be 92 now.

Time has gone by quickly, this school year is almost over. I am looking forward to summer and taking some trips. Planning to take a riding trip and maybe go somewhere with my YA YAs. (Linda and Martha Lou)
Yesterday was a terrible weather day in Mississippi. There was a huge tornado that destroyed a lot of homes, business, and other property. The main area hit was Yazoo City. This storm was on the ground for many miles, starting across the river from Vicksburg then traveling on the ground from Vicksburg to north Mississippi. Some was hit and miss ,while at times it stayed on the ground. The path is cut was about 2/4 mile wide. Today was beautiful.
Sunshine and warm temps sent me out on my motorcycle. Rode about 220 miles. It was a great day.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

It has been a while since I put a post on my blog. Don't think anyone evens looks at this any more but I do it as a type of journal for myself. Who knows one day Sydney might look at it and see all the things we did that I wrote about.
With the Internet site most of then are trends any way....people come and go , do it , then stop. But like I said it is a type of journal.
I think around Easter was my last post. Well since then lots has happened. School is flying by.....so much to get done to finish out the year and the annual. The Catfish festival has happened. That was great for me because Chris came home, then Ben and Sydney also come to spend the night and be with us. To have my kids home was great. Only thing was Sam had to work and couldn't join us. Sydney was a mess at the festival..she did the bungee jump (no fear) and ran all over the place. That night Chris went to Greenwood and I attended the HA alumni dance. The Krackerjacks played, saw lot of kid I had in my classes. Then Sunday I went riding my bike and Chris headed home.
Tomorrow I have that luncheon in Jackson for star teacher. Really wish I didn't have to go, but.......... This week end I don't have any set plans. This time of the year there is always something going on with different festival and activities.
Will just see what the weather does and do whatever pops up. But there are several things for me to choose from.
There is a lot of farming going on....know John is busy in his fields. I did see him Easter and went to church up there.
School will be done in about 24 days.....oh my gosh I'm ready. This summer will be fun I hope. Going to take some trips.....ride....see my family....just enjoy.
Have my yard cleaned up and garden is up. So hope to have veggies this summer.

Hope everyone is enjoying this great spring..... Take care and be safe whatever you are doing.
