Thursday aftermath…

Yesterday was filled with many thunderstorms, breaks of sunshine and copious amounts of rain.  It rained harder than it has rained since I moved here.  We were under a severe thunderstorm warning until 2 AM.  We have had over 4 inches of rain so far this month.  Our rain deficit is shrinking very nicely.  It was still pouring rain and lightning and thunder when I went to bed at 10PM.

I have been out this morning to the bank and grocery shopping.  Buying up all of the good buys.  Lots of good things to eat, strawberries, Fuji apples and chocolate pinwheel cookies, etc.  I can’t believe the price of those pinwheel cookies.  On sale for $3.97 a package.  I rarely buy them but today I gave in to temptation.

Other than the above mentioned I have done nothing.  I am settling in to watch the Arias trial

Stay safe and be happy!!

Another gulley washer…

complete with lots of lightning and thunder.  And not realizing it was going to storm, I was out in it this morning, to the post office and the bank.  I had a cup of tea with my daughter and then I headed home.  Many of the streets are flooded.  I would say that we are making that rain deficit of 6.9 inches shrink today by an inch or two.

And it is so dreary and dark outside that I have turned on several of the lights.  I have got to have my light.  I think I suffer from whatever that is that you have when you need to have it light.  lol  I can’t think of it now but I am sure I will think of it when I close this post.

What I don’t want to think of is the Cardinals letting the Giants beat them the last 2 games. Tonight it is do or die.  The game will be in competition with the last political bunch of poopeydoop.  (made up word from my own dictionary)  Which do you think will pull in the highest rating?  I am so sick of the negative ads and the phone calls.  I will go vote however.

I hope you all have a good week.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Prayers for Janice in California and my cousin Bryce in south central Missouri.

It is obvious…

since I am writing a post this morning that I didn’t win the Lotto last night.  Shoot, I didn’t even have one number.  Some lucky person or persons from Michigan won.  I have relatives in Michigan but none in the area where the winning ticket was sold.

It is drizzling rain here this morning with thunderstorms all around us.  We have a 70% chance of rain today with a cold front moving through.  The weather scanner has already gone off this morning scaring me half to death while I was in the middle of my morning workout.  Right now it is black as night outside so I think the storms are getting closer.  I am also hearing some thunder boomies so I am hoping for some much needed rain.

So what do I do on a day when the power could go out at any minute?  Why I hurry up and close off this post.  You all stay safe and be happy!!

Welcome…

to the wonderful world of blogging.  It was just like being back in spaces this morning where they made some kind of ridiculous change every other day.  This morning first thing it was impossible to leave a comment for anyone.

So, I hopped in my car as the second driver and headed for Food Depot to purchase lotto tickets for the mega millions which is over half a billion dollars today.  Yep, $540 million.  I didn’t have to wait in line, I just purchased my tickets and headed for the rest of the store where I purchased most of their specials.  This store really has bargains and I love a bargain.   Now I am home and  have everything  put away and I can dream about being struck by lightning or being mega rich.  Of course I have a much better chance of being struck by lightning.  

It is lovely out this morning.  It is 58 degrees and the sun is shining brightly.  It is a truly great day to be alive and I thank God that I am.

I hope you all have a peaceful weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!
