Golfing and Hail
But not at the same time. Monday we went golfing with Jim and Donna Lee, our friends that we have been visiting in MS since we went on the road. They are from our home town. Had a great time. By the time we got home, Rick's knee was really hurting him. So we started the process of heat, ice, heat, ice, ect for the rest of the night. Then on Tuesday, we started the process all over again. He was going to stay off of it for the day to see if that helped. Well, guess what. The sky got black and it started to rain and then it started to hail. This is the worst weather we have experienced in MS in the last 2 years. (And we have stayed here twice a year for those 2 years.) We just watched stunned at the hail coming down. Some were pea sized and then they started getting bigger! We took pictures that I will put on the blog in the next day or two. We lost our satellite so I was on the computer watching the weather. It showed the hail and then it went to a purple triangle. You don't ever want to see the purple triangle. It means that a tornado vortex is in the storm. Luckily it did not touch down. Thank you Lord for keeping us safe thru all these storms. Today we got up early and drove down to Gulfport to see the doctor about Rick's knee. He got a shot combination of cortisone and a pain killer. The doctor wants Rick to get an MRI on his knee but we did not make that appointment. Rick wants to see if the shot and the pain killers work, along with the Aleve. We then stopped at Sam's Club and had new tires put on the front of the truck. Then back home until Josh called to say he was home. We took dinner over to him and his family. I got pictures of both the boys, Jackson with his new glasses and Jay with his new RED cast. I will put them on in a couple days. Just to tired tonight. Tomorrow we go to Jim and Donna's to visit and then off for the best catfish dinner around. Oh did I mention we will be staying in MS for another 2 weeks? Carriage called and said the plant will be on shutdown due to lack of orders the week we were to go there. So that was rescheduled for the beginning of May. This is a good thing, because it is supposed to snow in OH this week. I'm going to bed.

Praising and praying for your safety.
I hope Rick doesn't let his knee go to long. We hope that the shots help. Boy oh boy you guys and rain? did the hail do any damage to your rig? hope not. stay safe
Sorry to hear about Rick's knee - hope it is better real soon. You guys have had a lot of weather there. We survived our trip through MS, AL, etc., on the way home and didn't run into severe weather. Thank God. Take care and be safe.
