Lisa (aka: Mom) has been in Italy nearly 6 weeks now. Early Monday morning she experienced a fairly strong earthquake. She was asleep and thought it was a dog or two jumping on her bed. Her niece, Tatiana, woke her up and got her and the rest of the family outside to a safer place.
Mom has lived in Indiana most of her adult life and really hasn't experienced anything like this.
Hundred of people have died and the search for more bodies continues today. This powerful earthquake centered in a town named L'Aquila less than 100 miles from her hometown location.
My first thought was to call her and make sure she was ok. I called several times once I got the news that a magnitude 6.3 earthquake hit nearby, yet I couldn't get a hold of her.
Finally I reached her nearly 15 hours later.
Where was she? Shopping! Leave it to my mom to find time to shop during a natural catastrophe.
Maybe shopping is her therapy.
