Good Friday in Vincennes

Friday, April 22 -- Today's thunderstorm, including hail, has just passed, but now Grandma's Tornado Warning Radio is going off, for the county just south of us.  This is "Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 178," so you can see why I no longer live back here. 

Yesterday, we stopped by the Verizon store and educated ourselves on aircards and mobile hot spot cards, and today, we cancelled our home phone service and went completely mobile.  So I am now on the blog at Grandma's, on my own hotspot card.  Anyone that has our home phone number in their contact list should remove it -- it's no longer active (480-380-8877).

 While in town, we stopped at the Tractor Supply Store to look for a wheel for Grandma's little red wagon.  They have some things for sale here that we don't usually see in Arizona -- baby chicks, ducks and bunnies (remember it's Easter Week).

We had lunch across the street at Hardee's, and a pair of geese waltzed across the parking lot.

Last night we went to church service, then had an early night -- no card playing and no thunderstorms.  Fred stopped by and ate dinner with us (chili), and a high school friend stopped by while we were in town, but otherwise, it was a quiet day.  Today, we spent a couple hours at the Verizon store, and I even have a new cell phone, with a texting keyboard, so we are becoming more modern all the time.  We did take a little drive today to see where some of the power lines were down, and then got back just in time for today's storm.  I think there are storms forecast for the next 4 days, so we will probably have more excitement before we leave here.
