    It surely is! We were in the GA Dome at the SEC Tournament when the tornado went through Atlanta last week. The Dome sustained damage plus our hotel was also damaged; in fact, the room across the hall from us had its big window blown out, but our room was not damaged. Saturday morning when we looked out our window, every building we could see had windows gone. TN looks really good to me right now!

    Welcome home Jeff. I was just telling Jan how much I miss you and Lavonne. She told me I should check out the wonderful TN forum and guess who I found??? I miss all my old friends from TN.

    Happy Easter to all and may He bless you each and everyone with his loving Grace, Mona

    Thank you Carol that awful nice!

    Ann I was watching it on CNN because those dang West Coasters wouldn't show an SEC game if their lives depended on it. I knew several folks that were at the tourney so I was a little worried. I just happened to call my Dad as soon as it started to check scores. I'm thankful that you guys were ok.

    Mona we miss you too! Are we gonna have to come down there and drag you to the MTPS? Email me and I'll catch you up on everything. Give David a hug from us and a big huge one for yourself.

    Love ya bunches,
    Jeff & Lavonne

    Everything in our neighborhood is so pretty right now. My forsythia and daffodils are blooming and my daylilies are starting to come up. I don't have any redbuds blooming in my yard but there are some on my street. I love this time of year when everything comes back to life.

    Oh, yeah~ Nice to be back in the Chattanooga area. On my way to work, I see the gorgeous "smoky" foothills of the Smoky Mountains, then going home I notice all the many redbuds blooming. I think there must be a redbud in every 20 square foot area.

    The weather is beautiful outside today! To bad I am stuck at work with no visable window were I sit. Its tortue!

    It could be worse, memphistigerlily. I have a window and can see what I'm missing. Although it has clouded up a bit. I'm hoping the rain holds off until I can get our grass cut this afternoon.

    It could be A LOT worse; you could be in a room with a window and stuck at the computer doing your taxes while digging through tons of files and paperwork for 20 of the last 33 hours!!!

    I HATE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jeff, just dig in and get it done, then you'll be able to rest for another year. I think it would be good to take a break now and then and go for a walk and get away from all that hard work.

    I feel your pain though. It sure is hard to go back to work after coming home at lunch to take the dog out. Its called Spring Fever, isn't it?

    Ah, I spent the afternoon digging plants for the swap until I ran out of potting soil. Then I did some sewing sitting on the deck while Maleah played in the back yard, and then took a little catnap in the sun.
