Sunday, April 15

We were up around 7:30, and after breakfast, Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house, where we prepared a beef roast for the slow cooker. Hubbie peeled potatoes to boil later.

Daughter slept until around 9:30. We spent the rest of the morning visiting, until time to cook and mash the potatoes and make gravy for the beef roast lunch.

After lunch, Daughter and I accompanied Mother back to her house, where we cleaned Mother's pantry. Since Mother can't cook anymore, Daughter and I bagged up cooking supplies that we can use in our kitchens.

Back home, Daughter and I joined Hubbie in a tour of the yard, where lots of flowers are in bloom...roses, peonies, and butterfly plant among them. We enjoyed the shade garden for a while, and then came indoors to visit some more and watch TV until Daughter was ready to head home. There were storm warnings for the state, and she wanted to get home before anything serious cropped up.

After she left, I helped Mother take a shower, and then throw a load of laundry in the washer. Back home, we noticed that a tornado warning was in effect for a county that Daughter would be passing through...right at the time she was due to arrive in the area. So I was worried about her, especially when I tried to call and text her, with no response.

Around 7 p.m., we got a robo weathercall warning from a meteorologist in the capital city, warning of a severe thunderstorm. So Hubbie felt that Mother should come to our house until the storms passed.

Decided to have a hamburger/turkey burger/hot dog supper while we waited. After a while, it rained hard, but nothing else came of the predicted storm. As soon as we knew the storms had passed, Hubbie accompanied Mother back to her house.

Finally, around 8 p.m., Daughter texted that she had arrived home safely, though she'd had to stop for a time when she ran into a storm. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard from her.

Spent the rest of the evening watching TV.
