Two weeks ago we were in Valdosta having a great show, selling a lot of good stuff. We heard the intercom come on announcing that every one had to pack up and leave....now. Riley helped Drew pack up and Becca helped us pack. We all left as quickly as possible with the tornado chasing us out of town. Drew left first but, got behind us and his windshield wipers went out. It took us over 2 hours, Mark's computer and a lot of prayers to get us all home safe. The Red Cross called sent us back to Valdosta the next day for our first job with them.
Last weekend we did the peanut festival in Blakely. Coming into town, we were listening to the radio and there was tornado warnings in all the counties that we were passing through. We could see the storm clouds forming all around and saw the lightning. We pulled into the Days Inn. We got out and saw emergency vehicles heading toward Kolomoki .State park, 5 miles away. That is where we would have stayed if we plan to camped this weekend.
The next day, when we got home from the show, we had another call from the Red Cross. When we called back, Brother Sam said that the storm had hit sparsely inhabited areas and they did not need us this time. I told him that he needed to call my cell phone. Because we were in the middle of it again. He asked me were we were going next and I told him Miami. He said that he would call his daughter and tell her to batten down the hatch and get ready for a storm coming.
We do not have any plans for this next weekend. Does any city out there want us to come for a visit.
