My yellow rose of Texas.................


........ is not only not so yellow........ it is also covered in rain drops! The weather has been plain awfull here. A lot of rain and thunderstorms and the first night I was here we were already under tornado watch. I am in a very beautiful but very rural area here, and I stay in a trailer. More or less right after I arrived there and was busy unpacking things got noisy and shaky. My landlady lives in a trailer right behind 'mine'. She rang me and said 'oh, we are under tornado watch, you know what to do right?' Well, no Ma'am I don't. We don't get many tornados in Amsterdam. So she told me to get a pile of towels, cover the glass doors and go hide in the small bathroom as there I would be covered by 4 walls..... hmmmmm I got everything ready but I must admit, I continued with the unpacking of my suitcase rather than sit in that tiny bathroom for a few hours. I was too tired to be really scared, and pretty soon the weather was calm again. The next morning I learned that they did loose power just down the road. And they are still expecting a lot of rocky weather for the next few days. I'll keep ya'll posted!

No, the hearing is in June, but there are a few little things I could still do here anyway.
Apart from that I really needed a little holiday and was looking forward to letting my skin soak up some sun after the long, cold winter we had. And I still had a ticket to Houston 'in the bin'.
Never did I realise I could be sitting here with the heater on!
