'NADER CHASIN'

This is how our Thurs. eve. started out!!

This is the storm as it approached from the West. The house in this pic is just across the street to the north of where we were standing.

Yes... that is what you think it is.

The house in this pic was just across the street to the East. The storm passed over us leaving only hail stones behind, and traveled on towards Hammon, but missed that town as well. Between Cheyenne & Hammon were large trees uprooted, or split in half, hail did some window and I'm sure, some roof damage, but no major damage to anyone's property, or injuries were reported. This storm was very irradic, switching directions, going E to W and N to S - just kind of circling! It was crazy. I think this same funnel, before it developed good, went right over our heads 2 or 3 times (don't worry - we were mere feet from a storm shelter).

This pic is of a funnel that was forming just to the north of the one above. I don't know if it ever touched down or not, because it moved off, and the rain at that point was so heavy, you couldn't see clearly anymore.

Baseball anyone!?!?

Tommy's Trip To the Big Apple

Well, I never thought they could do it, but they finally got me there! Last week we spent a week in New York city visiting Cara and seeing the sites! What a trip it was! I never walked so much in my whole life! 5 days in the city is plenty long enough! I saw the sites I had always heard about---Stood on top of the Empire State Building; Rode the ferry out to Staton Island to see the Statue; Went to 911 site but there was just construction walls so that we were unable to see anything; Stood on Times Square with at least a million others! One of the nights we were there we got to see taping going on with Will Smith. Too far away though we didn't get a good picture of him. Rode the Subway, not just once but enough times that I should know my way around the trains, but I don't! It's a crazy way of life and for some reason Cara loves it! It was great seeing her and spending time with her and seeing her new apartment in Brooklyn. Hope you enjoy allllllll the pictures. Don't quit scrolling until you see Cara's latest creation!

No, we didn't take an airplane over the city, these are some of the pictures taken from on top of the Empire State Building. Amazing view! Amazing Trip! It was a blessing to go once, but I don't think I would ever care to go out sightseeing again. The only sight I will be seeing next time is CARA!! 'Cause it looks like she's gonna be there a while!

Cara's Newest Creation

This is Cara's newest creation. It's an anniversary cake. The husband ordered it saying, "She likes Louis Vaton (sp?) purses and I like golf. Do something with that." So, this is what she came up with. Pretty good, don't you think!?
