With the approach of warmer weather it is a time for you and your fami-

ly to get outside and enjoy the outdoors! After being cooped up for the

winter get out and stretch your legs, be active with your children and/or

grandchildren. It is also a good time to start planning for those outdoor

Spring projects that you have been wanting to get done. Unfortunately

with warmer weather brings on the threat of severe weather. It is good

to practice tornado drills with members of your family so everyone is

prepared in case of an emergency! Have a plan and make sure your chil-

dren/grandchildren know the drill.

I hope everyone has a great start to their Spring!

Blessings,

Lora Davidson
