Earthquakes in the MidWest

Yes we do have them! But I've lived here for 18 years and this is the first one I remember. I thought John was putting the garage door up - our bedroom is just above the garage and the door often gets stuck and just shakes...but I looked at the clock and it was 5:30 and John leaves for work at 4:30 - so I thought I was dreaming. Then I found out - it was an earthquake! And not only did we feel it in Cincinnati - Andrew said they felt it in Cedar Rapids too! Quite a memorable day!
In other news: we have a new mailbox! My neighbor did us a great favor by bumping our old dilapidated one with her mower...she felt so bad - but I told her that my mom had purchased a beautiful new one last fall and it was sitting in the garage just waiting for a good reason to be put up. So thank you Mom and now you can feel safe about the mail!
