why the name?

Good morning....
you have asked and I shall tell..... why the name "white tornado" for my blog? That is Marshall's pet name for me. He thinks I whirl around all day, getting stuff done (mostly cleaned) like a white tornado. I suppose it looks that way to him. Mostly I feel like a worker ant that never gets the job finished. There is always more sand to move out of the nest.

I'm thrilled to see that I'm up to 3 followers. Thanks! This gives me hope that someone is bothering to listen to my rants and raves. Crazy people aren't really crazy, they just want someone to listen to them. They should blog, it clears the mind and soothes the soul. Is there a way to send out the blog to followers or do I just have to wait for people to find me? Being petite I know it's all too easy to get lost in the shuffle. I'd like to thank Joel O for being my first official follower. He's happy to be a "first" for something in my life. So cute!

It's sounding like Marshall may have found a buyer for the Bonneville. Now we just have to drive it down to Baltimore and meet up with the buyer, AJ, once his cheque arrives and is deposited. AJ has been a little off the wall about this whole transaction but maybe it will all work out. The last time we sold a car (in Fort Wayne), the buyer, Max, came and picked it up for his daughter, paid us and left... only to call the following week wanting to give us back the car because the air conditioning died. Okay, that's fair. Marshall gave him back his money (less a re-stocking fee). We had the AC fixed, then put it back on the market. Max called back a week later again, wanting to buy the car back, again... oy vey! It was funny when all was said and done but I learned that selling used cars is a crazy business and it's why used car salesmen are so bananas. It would make me nuts to have that job too.

It's time to get my act in gear for the day ahead. Swimming lessons, dentist appointment, dinner... lots to do.

bye from Yardley, PA

  2. And a mention in the official blog to boot. Doesn't get much better than that!
