[Eoscstudents] Menu for Mon. May 12

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

What a wild weather weekend we had!  Wilburton really dodged a bullet 
with all the tornadoes in the area.  My husband's aunt and uncle and 
their family got their 15 minutes of fame when part of their house was 
shown on the news as one of those destroyed by one of the tornadoes that 
came through at Yanush Saturday evening.  Miraculously, they and all 
their children and young grandchildren were next door at her sister's 
house, where the damage was much less severe.  Unfortunately, that 
couple had gone to get my husband's grandmother who didn't want to be 
alone in the storm, and they got caught in it on the way back.  They had 
to pull over due to lack of visibility and were hit by high winds and 
debris that shattered all their vehicle windows except the windshield 
and showered them with glass and debris.  Talk about a close call!  They 
were right near a house that would've probably been blown completely 
across the highway except for it's iron fence and entry gate.  Now the 
floor of that house is leaned upright against the iron entryway.  That's 
something you don't see every day!   I have to say it is wonderfully 
encouraging that very soon after all the storms were gone and the roads 
were cleared enough to be passable, people started arriving with food, 
water and offers to help the families who had been left homeless.  Okies 
can be such great folks!

Our menu for today includes:

             Chicken fried steak
             Barbecue
             Brussel sprouts
             Vegetable medley
             Green beans
             Mashed potatoes and gravy
            
And for dessert, have some luscious Strawberry Shortcake!

Have a great day,

Rhoda   :-)
