A tornado and a baby in our lives

We're in Anton lutheran church basement. Tornado passed 15 miles north of here tonight. the locals opened the church for us. now i'm blogging on my phone. 55 miles today into another headwind that ate us up. also surprisingly nasty hills. no towns to speak of, just clumps of houses. we're beat up a bit. we watched the super cell cloud tear through at dusk with couple who live next door while dozens of storm chaser cars speeded through town after the tornado. surreal. cheese sandwiches and watermellon for dessert. we are going to be the parents of a baby girl due july 7th! jus t got this great news this morning. life is a gift.

  3. the watermelon is happy.
    the watermelon, in fact, has never been happier.
    the watermelon, i've heard, has been waiting a long time
    to be eaten by you but was waiting for you to be parents.

    you have pleased the watermelon very much.

    love,
