Last Sunday night, Arkansas was hit by another round of tornadoes and flooding. Thankfully, none of my friends or family were effected.
We do have a storm shelter. We have never had to use it. In fact it's our "root cellar", where we store our dehydrated foods and such.

We got 7 inches of rain in our area. The local town of Hardy had some flooding, along with all the other little towns along the Spring River.
Our friend who live in Ravenden found a cottonmouth (2 feet long) in their basement while there were sheltering from the storm. NOT GOOD. Luckily, it was stuck to one of those stick mouse trap things! Damn! It wasn't enough that they were in the basement, watching the river rise higher and higher... they had to worry about MORE snakes being in their basement!
Living life in rural Arkansas with my husband Johnnie and stepson Joshua. Johnnie and I both have Parkinson's disease. This makes life a challenge, but we're living a full life with each other as best we can. We really enjoy living in the woods. We spend our days making things, eating good food, watching a movie or two on TV. We enjoy learning new things and keeping our life focused on the positive.
