The Adventures of Red and the Blustery Day

That's putting it lightly.

The Blustery Day was always my favorite of Pooh Bear's adventures when I was little.


The foundation for my ensemble today is based upon Disney Christopher Robin's traditional garb: yellow T-shirt, blue on bottom, red shoes.  Finished with Pooh Bear necklace and earring set my grandparents gave me years ago.
The fact that I'm now holed up in my room tracking storms with my loves James & Jason has greatly altered my outfit.  Now short hair pulled back with banana clip, stray curls held into place with a cheetah print headband, and my white-with-purple-roses robe
 

Tut-tut! It looks like rain!


In short, I look a mess.  But not nearly as messy as this weather.  If you're so inclined, send up prayers for the damage that's already been done in Alabama (Cullman, Holly Pond, Dodge City), and keep 'em coming for the entire state for the rest of the night.

It's gonna be a doozy.

Too many pictures, I know...

As promised (even if only to myself), a virtual tour through the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.  These pictures weren't taken for art's sake, but for memory's sake (even though I tried my best to make them somewhat aesthetically pleasing, I work with limited resources...).   

Well, here goes.

 Rebecca Anderson was a nurse who, although she was injured herself, continued to help the others who'd been injured as well, 
and it ended up costing her her life.
