On Saturday morning, Chase's baseball team was scheduled to have a tournament in Cottleville. But when they got there, it started to rain and eventually, the two games Chase was supposed to play were rained out. While they were waiting, Mama and Chase played War. Mama found a deck of cards in the glove box of Daddy's truck. Chase demolished Mama in the card games. That boy has both skills and luck. They learned that Sunday's tournament games were also rained out. In the afternoon, Mama, Daddy and Chase went to Fenton for the end-of-the-season party for Chase's hockey team. The boys received all kinds of photos and mementos of the season. Mama said it was a great party, and everybody had fun. On their drive home from Fenton, there were tornado warnings. A huge storm hit Columbia with a lot of rain, thunder and lightning. The National Weather Service advised everyone to take shelter, in the basement if possible because of the tornado warnings. Mama, Daddy and Chase took Sam, Sylvester and Tyler downstairs. Nanaw went downstairs with her cats, Taylor, Charlie and Sidney Crosby the Cat. The tornadoes didn't hit Columbia. After the storm was over, Nanaw went over to visit Chase. Mama and Chase were still downstairs. Nanaw had brought along a little bag of Purina kitten treats, the ones her cats like, so she could give Tyler a treat. Mama would only let her give Tyler one treat; she says he's a fat cat. Later, after Nanaw had left, Mama let her know that Chase threw up again, but this time in a bucket, and no books were harmed.
