Life Larger than Life

We are driving through steady rain, on Highway 45, headed to Meridian, Mississippi, where I am scheduled to give a program on the History of Porcelain and the History of Penny Sanford Porcelains.  The Lauderdale County Republican Women is hosting the program.

Thanks to everyone who had emailed to ask what had happened and why I was not blogging as usual.  Thank you, Vickie, for your touching email!

Well, Life has been...Larger than Life!

Remember in the movie, Jurassic Park, when the T-Rex was chasing the jeep, the view from the rear view side mirror had those warning words, "Objects may be closer than they appear in this reflection"...or words to that effect.

That is a perfect illustration of life these last weeks.  The unexpected opportunities, surprise complications, looming deadlines have been like that hungry T-Rex chasing us.  (Trying very hard not to call them problems, ya know?)

We have survived, projects are managed, opportunities and complications have deposited their life lessons in our brains, and we are still moving forward.

Apparently Gordon and I would be bored with a "normal" life, because our trip to Meridian is covered in tornado warnings and at least one verified tornado between Laurel and Meridian. The warnings and watches continue through 3:30 p.m. today.  Life is apparently never going to be dull for us!  HA!

Internet access is limited because of the weather, so I cannot upload any photos to go with this.  In my absence from the blog, Gordon and I have been taking oodles and oodles of photos.

Oh great....National Weather Service has interrupted the radio program to give more warnings.  That tone is enough to make me crawl out of my skin.  Major goosebumps. 

Oh great, the monotone radio voice just said, "Most deaths occur in automobiles" for areas under the numerous warnings that this part of the state is under.

Gee, thanks, Mister Monotone!

Lots of good stuff to share with you as soon as I can upload some photos!  I've been missing you all!

Fondly,
Penny
