We woke to a thunder storm moving in...... Sarah hadn't heard the cracking and rumble of thunder before...... the skies turned dark quickly..... than came the rain..... claps of thunder...... and none of the girls could care less.....
When it passed and the sun reappeared our yard was a small lake...... the girls flew out the door to investigate..... when they returned a short time later they were wearing a coat of mosquitoes.....
I brushed them off and shoo-ed them through the door as quickly as I could....."MOM!!!! There are mosquitoes in here!!!!!"...... "OOPS! Guess a few slipped by me"
Did I mention Tom hates bugs with a passion... to a point of obsession........
It was hot & muggy all day...... I worked on a quilt I putz at when things are touch and go..... gives Tom a calm feeling of "home"...... getting too fat on the "aroma therapy" I've used in the past... besides it's too hot to cook.
Late afternoon Tom's sister and her husband dropped by with all kinds of goodies.... it was nice to visit with "outsiders" (outside our world)..... I miss that.
Tom's "Aunt Dorothy" sent out some tops that she didn't want. They were nice cotton knit ... short sleeve....and they fit.....and were like or were new.
So I gave her a call to thank her. Now she is 80 years young.... and I really don't know her. BUT let me tell you... "I like this lady".... She is a spicy & spunky & still lives by herself. We talked for quit awhile.....
Then another storm rolled through at dusk..... this one came with a tornado warning.... but it pretty much missed us. Tom was running around .... window to window... I laid in bed and played with the girls till he calmed down and came to bed. I could see on the TV it was going to miss us........
Today will be very hot and muggy... so I told Tom we can sit in the house and watch the grass grow and complain how hot & muggy & buggy it is outside........ Thursday the temps will be cooling to high 60's ....... than we can complain about all the grass we have to mow......
"Have you ever noticed some people are not happy unless they have something to complain about? LOL That's Tom! For Real!....... He never use to complain about anything but now even though he is happy about having something to do... on the phone he COMPLAINS about it?????????
