Tornado Watch!!

Spent the day still looking for houses, we seem to have narrowed it down to two or three. It seems like there are hundreds but if you want a back garden for the kids, then your choice narrows to but a few. They are still all gorgeous houses though. We met Dennis who had kindly driven through many suburbs we were looking at, early this morning and checked out the back garden situation and eliminated loads for us.
Torn now between (my choice)older but lovely house with established neighbourhood and tree house in garden, two story and in a cul de sac, but boys take the school bus ( yes! one of those yellow ones you see on all the movies!!) and a very nice, just built, in a fantastic friendly community in walking distance to the boys schools, just on edge on main road (Mr. Smiths choice) and one complete wild card house, but with a nice flat yard!
It's hard because, as in England it all revolves around the schools, but also communities offer swimming pool, tennis courts etc.
Dennis took us for a mexican lunch, it was absolutely lovely. We didn't feel like going out for dinner so planned to stay in and cook again, but then take boys to the movies ( cinema- or if your as old as me, 'pictures')! Unfortunately a big storm has arrived, thunder and lightening- the lot and we are on "Tornado Watch"!! Apparently nothing to worry about. But I have found out that just in case a tornado strikes we have to get into the windowless closet. going to put medical kit, blankets, pillows, food and drink, amd wine in there, just in case!! oh, and a plastic cup for the wine! Don't want to let myself down and be seen drinking out of the bottle!!
