And now I am up-to-date! Lab 15 Mod 8 - August! Requirements: word paper clip: I made 2 - 1 is red and says "love"; this one is yellow and says "cute"; Transparent word title: I thought that was a unique idea and so I made a whole alphabet and separated the letters with Cassel's Alpha Sheet Separater script. The gold heart I made some time ago with a tutorial from Cassel, as well as the enamel flower and the doily. I had fun making the background paper - I used a pattern from a pic I took of one of my cousin's throw pillows on her couch - I'm always looking for interesting patterns to use for backgrounds or textures. Anyway - I had fun. This picture was taken about 10 years ago when they were having fun at a restaurant. Oh, yes, before I forget - the mask was from Jessica Dunn - her challenge mask in May of this year. -

Weather hasn't been too bad this summer. I missed the extreme heat wave the end of June since I was in South Dakota. We've had some hot days in the last week or so but it hasn't been too bad. Today cooled off some because of a storm that rolled through during the night. We were in a drought situation about a month ago but have had enough rain since to get out of that classification. I am in an area that does get tornadoes. I head to the basement where I have a corner I sit in. I've got a TV down there that I can watch the news stations (one station out of Dayton, Ohio is very good about weather in my county). If the power goes out, I have a battery operated lantern I keep in the basement so I can get up the stairs when the warning is over. I also have another one of the lanterns I keep on a shelf in the dining room in case the power goes out for other reasons. I have the weather app for the Dayton station on my tablet and it goes with me to the basement in case power and cable go out. Between April 1, 2023 and March 14, 2024, we had 3 tornado warnings in town. On April 1, 2023, a EF-1 tornado touched down on the east end of town. Lots of damage to a truck stop on I-75 and an RV resort as well as other nearby businesses. My former employer had minor building damage but a tomato greenhouse not far from it was flattened. All the damage was south of US 33 and east of I-75. Then on March 14, 2024 an EF-3 tornado touched down about 3.5 miles SE from where the previous tornado hit almost a year earlier. It hit a different RV resort which also has people that live there all year long. This tornado continued on into the county east of us and hit the Indian Lake area where there were 3 fatalities. Before these 2 tornadoes the last one near my town was in 2019. It went south of town where it is mostly farm land. A few farm houses had damage. Thankfully, none of these tornadoes had a loss of life although other tornadoes in other towns nearby have. This layout shows the path of the EF-1 tornado. The black push pin is my house. Had this tornado path been about a 1 mile or so north, it would have gone right through the middle of the town. As it was, it just caused building damage south of town and the damage to the area just east of I-75. The ER-3 tornado hit right about where the "171" is just east of the "75" indicator.
