Crash Bang Boom As Ligntning Streaks Across The Sky

May 30, 2013

Good morning.  Wowee, what a time we had last night.  Starting just before 11 p.m. a loud noise started, like the roar of a huge train engine.  It got louder and louder, and finally CRASH!  Oh my, what huge lightning bolts went cracking through the sky.  Poor Pogo got scared and went into attack mode.  I had to hang on to him to calm him down.  I don't know who, but something somewhere got hit.

An hour later it had quieted down to just rain, thunder and smaller lightning strikes.  Pogo doesn't usually get frightened by the thunder and lightning, but this episode would have scared the wrappings off a mummy.  (Bear with me, I don't know where that phrase came from.  Honest.)

I got the nicest surprise in my mailbox this morning from my good friend Kyra at "With A Russian Dutch Heart".   She made me a layout using the photo of Pogo and Joe from yesterday's post, and her Nutshell kit "Primavera".  Kyra, thank you so much.  What a great way to start my day!

I will have to print an extra copy of this for Joe.  He will be so pleased.  Folks, if you haven't stopped by Kyra's blog for a visit and to see her wonderful kits, grab your coffee and head on over there.  You're in for such a treat.  Kyra makes such wonderful kits, and her friend Arlene makes some really beautiful clusters to match the kits.

I have another great photo to share with you this morning.  This is a photo that my daughter Deanne sent to me of my grandchildren at the Memorial Day Parade the other day.  Left to right is Jasmine, Kevin and their friend Katie.

I did not mention the other day, but this is what the newspaper had to say about Deanne and her sign.  "One day is not enough", said Deanne J.  Standing by the edge of City Hall, she waved a handmade sign that read 'Thank You"  on the front, and on the back it held the names of her father, uncle, stepfather and two good friends, who all fought and who all have since died.  "I'm not here just for them," she said, "but for everyone, past and present." 

I have more good news.  As of today, I will be an Assistant Administrator at Photography, Plus The Art of Photography".  Woo Hoo!!!    This is a wonderful group of people who love photography and help each other to learn more of this fabulous art.  Thank you Barb, I'll do my best.

I did call my doctor's office yesterday to let them know how I am progressing with this "bug".  I guess it wasn't a bug after all.  I am mending but I cannot get rid of the hacking cough.  The doctor said that with Pneumonia and Bronchitis, the cough will take another week or two at least to go away.  No wonder it knocked me off my feet!

On that note, I think I shall head for the shower.  My hair needs a good washing and today is the perfect day to do it.  The temperature should be in the low 90's.  Plenty warm enough to wash my hair and not catch a cold.  (did I really say that?)  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
