    • I love watching a good storm roll in but I have never fully subscribed to the “go try and spot the tornado” mentality. I have too much respect for those storms to want to watch that happen in real time. I’ll settle for seeing that through my cameras.
      Right before a thunderstorm starts though and the wind is picking up. That’s ideal to stand in the middle of.

      • I have been known…a time or 2…to go chasing. But generally, I stick to the porch with an unobstructed path to shelter at my back. Been in the tornado belt too long to not respect them. In this case, it chased us. First we knew was the sound of what seemed to be an airplane through the living room, followed by huge crashes. When I say we had a tree all over our yard, parts were in the front, parts along the side & part was in back. Big house, lots of ground to cover. We were very lucky. Thank you for stopping by

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Storm watching huh? I can’t remember the last time I did that. lol. Excellent write my friend, glad you’re ok, nature does know how to put on a show. Appreciate you.

      • It was a wild time. Crazy intense. Enough so that my 35 yr old daughter came downstairs looking for her mommy. Some people still have no power. I love storm watching. This was bigger than that. We were super lucky, my friend

    • Tremendous work. Vivid and sharp.

    • We get the occasional blizzard too. Though nothing like you northerners get. Mostly we get icicles on our ass, & wild thunderstorms. They’re speculating we caught the trailing edge of a tornado this time. Lucky, we were very lucky. Thanks girl

    • Grandma knew exactly what to do with us. 6 of us & she never lost her temper. Good memories…Thank you, girl

    • hello beautiful Willow this was a twist I didn’t know where you were going it’s very clever and relateable I had to clean my dad’s grandfather clock when naughty 💕

      • I hated getting in trouble. It was usually my cousin & her brother. She was ornery as hell too, would try to hug him when he was so pissed. Grandma had to leave the room to hide her giggles. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Amazing storytelling my friend, I can relate. Not that I got in trouble a lot, but when I did, not a fun time by any means of the imagination. Excellent work, as always. Appreciate you.

      • Always seemed like disappointing grandma was worse than the punishment itself. So I did my level best to not get in trouble much. Not with grandma, at any rate. 😂 Thank you, my friend

    • I love “old timey” pieces. It brings back the good ol days, even if we didn’t know that they were, then. I would’ve preferred the chair over the usual ass whuppin.
      But eh, I survived.
      It’s always interesting to me how others lived and dealt with their own upbringings. This was a wonderful story indeed. I raised my kids on “time out” instead of spankings, as your story reflects. It’s a better choice.
      Very entertaining write, Willow. Bravo.

      • Don’t get too cozy in the “old timey” corner. I’m all over the map these days. Who knows where it will take me next?

        Yeah, my girl was raised on time out too. Little rascal knew exactly when she was about to land there too. Look me right in the eye & say “I go to time out now?” Good kid…that girl gave me side aches holding in the laughter.

        Thank you for the visit. Good to see you roaming the new halls

    • It’s good to see YOU here, too.

    • hello beautiful Willow there are no answers sometimes for these kind of questions and if you got a response it’s not likely going to be one you like heartfelt and deep write🌹

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Amazing lyrics, really loved the musical style and arrangement my friend. Love the bass and drums starting the second verse for those first bars, before the guitar comes in on the last bars. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Thank you! On pieces this close to my emotions, I always know when it feels right because I get goosebumps & cry. I appreciate your comment on this one, my friend

    • Powerful and sad. I felt this one. Great writing.

    • I was so angry when I wrote it, & so sad. Hopefully I was able to convey that even a little. She’ll never admit her part. It is what it is. Thank you, girl
