Thunder on Tuesday....

Rain with a bit of a light show accompanied by thunder boom every now and then. The best thing is, my car gets a free car wash....:)

I had planned to do stuff around the house. Just clear up and put out stuff. Yet the rain dampened my spirit.

I sat on my love seat and cat sleep on the arm of said seat. His head rested on my shoulder.

How in the world could I disturb a snoozing cat--Especially when all I was going to do was mop my kitchen floor?

Rain on.

So Much Soak

Rain. Lots of it. Came home and saw some trim from my carport on the ground. As was the branch that, I'm sure, helped it down. Major storm blew through Dallas. Enough wind to cause the Dallas Cowboy training facility's roof to collapse. Stories still filter out. Rookie training cap was going on. Right now, I've heard of not too many serious injuries. Stay tuned. And say a prayer.

For me, from Friday morning until about 1:15pm today, had no internet, land phone or TV. However, I could watch stuff I'd DVR'd, so all was not lost. My stuff is a Verizon FiOS bundle. I just blew it off yesterday morning, when I had no channels--just thought Verizon had some internal prob going on and would be fixed by the time I got home.

Wrong.

By the time I got home from work, it was too late for a tech to come out. He showed today about 11:20ish and left about 1:15 pm. Replaced my outside unit, plus my battery pack inside--amongst my clutter in that back bedroom. Oh well, it's MY clutter. About 10 mins after he finished--and everything worked- I headed out to meet chums for meeting/lunch. We sat and munced burritos as said storm blew in. Rain pounded the eatery's windows hard enough for the clock on the inside was pushed away from it.

Anyway, all is good. I'm safe. TV works as thunder roars, lightening brightens, plus rain rinses and it's still the weekend. Saturday the calendar says. So let's cue alittle Sir Elton John who tells us what Saturday is allright for:

Thoughts...

Did errands tonight. When did I fall in love with thrift stores? Not that long ago I called em 'junk stores.' For some they may be, yet I love the treasure search. Or maybe I know I need them more and more after the $45 filled my gas tank.

Croutons. The best...and I mean the BEST yum-yum croutons are New York Original Texas Toast Cheese and Garlic Croutons. Big (just like the state of Texas!) Crunchy and all around dee-lish-shus! For the calorie conscious two tablespoons will weigh you in with about 35 calories. These babies enhance any salad! Croutons....when did I get to the point in my life where I'd WANT to talk anything that went in or on a salad?

Thunder. Lightening too. Don't think the Dallas weather people predicted this! Hmm. One summer evening, while I was grade school age, I watched a softball game with my parents. We were at our town's park, along with half the town. Thunder started to roar. Lightening graced the sky. I announced to my parents that thunder was Heaven's door opening for the people. Lightening was to show them the way.

When did I ever stop believing that?
