Bitter Sweet Holiday

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving holiday.
We had a wonderful one with my mother coming to visit!
I had not seen her in two years and it was so nice to spend time with her.

My mother got all the elements of Missouri in her five day stay;
sun, rain, sleet, snow, and tornadoes.
Yes, one of the nights we had to run in buckets of rain to the tornado shelter as the sirens were going off.

Five days went by so fast.
I was so sad to take her back to the airport.
I'm looking forward to summer now when I plan on spending a whole month in California with my family!
