Back in Pleasant Grove, AL

We arrived safely in Birmingham, staying with our friends, Glenn and Mary.

First thing in the morning, we drove to Pleasant Grove. Since my husband, Ray, had not been with me when I was here in May, I took him for a drive through the neighborhoods, so he could understand the severity of the tornado.

He was saddened and amazed at the damage. I explained how things were two months before, and how much progress has been made since then.

The destruction again struck me as surreal - something out of Hollywood, and not real life. Unfortunately, this IS real life, and it is a horrible situation.

But, I was encouraged by all the progress I can see in cleaning up, and wonderful people like Tonia, who posts on Facebook, at the Pleasant Grove, AL Tornado Updates. She has provided such helpful information to those concerned with the area. Thank you, Tonia, for all you are doing.

There are so many good people helping. It gives me faith in the human spirit.

Hugs to Pleasant Grove and Concord.
