November 24, 2010:
Wow – a busy busy busy month and weeks.
Attended the KY Weather Conference in Bowling Green – had a GREAT time! The Paducah, NWS also had a conference at Kentucky Lake. We gave away some Midland Weather Radios at both events. We had such a great time – so many quality speakers. 🙂 Fun for all of the emergency management and weather geeks.
Then we had open house on Sunday – over 200 people attended. We estimate the number to be between 250 and 300 in total. Lot of people had more than one person with them – plus kids.
Teachers from Jefferson and Massac High School were there – along with a lot of friends from the past and current friends. Everyone had such a great time. I did not get to take any photos because I was never able to leave the spot I was in! Hopefully some others took a few. I know that Geri and Caesar sent me a few! I will have to upload those.
My mom and family had a blast – so many faces that we have not seen in years.
FUN FUN 🙂
Then we had a few weather events – including a tornado watch the other night until 4 am. I went to bed at 3 – after the threat ended. Joey saw a Bobcat the same day – I can hear the coyotes tonight howling. Lot of creatures around here!
Then add in school – and things are BUSY BUSY BUSY!
Loving life – all good.

Flashback a couple of weeks 🙂 – we went to see Blue Man Concert – WOW is all I can say!
