Vegan Momma

A few days ago I had finished putting our food leftovers away. I walked into the living room in time to hear Aiyana consoling herself. She said, “S’ok! S’ok! The airplane won’t hurt you!”
An airplane had just flown over the house.
“Your right, I said giving her a big hug and kiss. “The airplane won’t hurt you.” Your such a smart and brave girl!”
I patted her on the head, and playfully pinched her cheek. Aiyana smiled and gave me a big hug. She looked up at the ceiling and said, “Back off plane, mommy’s here!”
I guess she knows if ‘anything’ bothers her ‘it’ will have to deal with me smart kid, eh? ;-)

She is always emulating mommy.

LESTERVILLE, Mo. — A dam in rural southeast Missouri failed Wednesday morning after a night of heavy rain and one person was missing in what officials called a “very dangerous situation.”

A family of five was rescued after the Upper Taum Sauk Lake Dam failed at about 6:24 a.m., Reynolds County Sheriff’s dispatcher Ginger Bell said. The National Weather Service warned that conditions along the Black River were creating a “dangerous and life-threatening situation.” Residents of Lesterville and elsewhere downstream from the dam were urged to move quickly to higher ground.

Small creeks and streams, country roads and farmland will be flooded, the agency said.

The dam is in the Ozarks, about 120 miles southwest of St. Louis. Reynolds County has a population of about 6,700
