HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

I hope everyone has enjoyed this Memorial Day weekend. For those of you that traveled, I hope you had a safe trip. On this day, remember all of those who have served our great country. Bless our troops abroad and God Bless America!

A MESSAGE FROM WADE AUST:

Hi! Everyone! I'm home, and feel like I was hit in the chest with a sledge hammer, but I'm just fine. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers and have survived another phase of this process. My discharge papers stated, "Don't get on the tractor!" Ha! That was the first thing I asked the doctor! He is really a neat guy, and is on a deer lease close to Karnes City. I'll know more towards the end of next week with the results from the lymph node they removed. I can't drive for 6 months for being diagnosed with seizures. I love you all! Wade!   p.s. Jim Robertson (High school buddy) came by to see me yesterday in the hospital and brought some pictures from the '70s Ha! check it out! If you remember the '70s you weren't there!

OKLAHOMA TORNADO

This is what's left of Ralph Cade's home in Choctaw, OK.  

Here's what his wife, Sheila, had to say on Facebook:

The closet we hid in is still intact. It is in the center of the house. The pressure builds up in your ears just like when flying. Ralph held on to the door handle as it was pulling. I clung to him with great granddaughter 18 months between us. I covered her with my body which she did not like. Scared her. Poor Abby our dog was next to me. I saw holes in the ceiling popping up with drywall falling in. It passed so quick when we opened the door, daylight. Our bedroom was gone! We are alive. Lost most everything, but we are alive.
