Like people do, we tidied our home before receiving our guests and even cleaned back bedrooms, bathrooms and the laundry room in anticipation of a home tour. To this degree, we were prepared for Sandy’s Aunt Roberta and Uncle John Hand’s Thursday visit. About an hour after their mid-afternoon arrival the tornado sirens sounded. Sandy was in the back bedroom working and the boys were napping upstairs in the nursery. I gathered everyone and ushered them all down to the basement. Now, this was the one area not prepared for guest viewing. In fact like most basements, it is a dirty, disorganized mess. However, I believe our guests enjoyed the adventure. Roberta recognized the couch and chair from her parents’ home, and they both enjoyed watching the toddler’s climb and explore what was their Great Grandparents’ furniture. While a tornado did touch down a few miles away, we were able to safely weather the storm from our untidy bunker.
