Sadie Enjoying the Municipal Band Concert

You may wonder what Sadie was enjoying and giving her full attention but it was the Seward Municipal Band. They played their first concert of their 126th season last evening at the Seward Band Shell. Sadie's Grandmother Carolyn had her set up on the blanket while John and Julie played in the Saxophone section. Great Grandparents joined the party with lawn chairs. While 7:00 pm is her normal bed time, she was a real trooper at the concert which was from 7:30-8:30pm. John has been playing in the band for the past 8 years and though Julie played in it some years ago, this is her first year back. They have a good number of Band members, excellent leadership, and should have a good season. The clouds seemed to build as the evening progressed and by this morning we had some 2.0" of rain in our gauge. Lincoln had over 3 inches and Omaha had winds of over 70mph which did considerable damage. Though we had sunshine all afternoon, we are again in a storm watch area. A tornado has already been spotted  near Smith Center, KS in the storm that's headed our way. Fortunately, we have a basement in which to take cover if necessary and a sturdy workbench under which to take cover it necessary. Elaine put fresh water in our container downstairs and the workbench isn't far from other sources of liquid that could be consumed in an emergency.
