Over Easter weekend we went to Gainesville, Florida to visit Sandra my mother inlaw. She has recently had some surgery to (hopefully) treat her condition. She did really well in recovery. She had her surgery on thursday and by saturday she had recovered well enough to move from Neuro ICU to her own room. She remembered who we all were which was so great! She was so happy to see us all, she felt so loved. I and the children were able to meet willie's grandfather for the first time. His name is also willie but I dont remember his last name. I dont know if I will ever see him again but it was nice to see some more closely related family members. I should have taken pictures, but Im really not sure if they would have appreciated that because none of the grandkids have very good relationships with him and it just didnt feel like a kodak type moment. I can say that the female genes in willies family are extremely strong. Sandra definitely favors grandma eleanor and willie definitely favors sandra, although I have been told that willie looks just like his father. (Another person I dont expect to meet)
Gainesville is the home of University of Florida, so there were tons and tons of Gator fans everywhere. It was pretty cool. We drove by the campus, not on purpose we were just tryiing to find our way out.
On our was home we went through Georgia. In Georgia they were having sever storms from atlanta through to the coast. It was scary. We kept hearing that emergency broadcast on the radio from the national weather people. They kept saying there was a tornado warning and if winds got just a little bit stronger a tornado would form. It was raining really hard. Everyone had their flashers on and driving really slow. There was tons of water everywhere and it just kept coming down. I got pretty scared but I didn't say or do anything to show that because I didn't want to show willie or the kids how scared I was. You know that might make the situation worse if everyone is scared to death. There was tons of lightening and thunder. But we got out of it unscathed and all was good LOL.
