Thunderstorms...

We are supposed to get thunderstorms through this area later in the day. Besides a few places to eat like Chick-fil-A and Moes, thunderstorms were probably the thing I most missed while living in the Northwest. I think I heard thunder four or five times in the four years I lived there. Thunderstorms are best though when you can be at home cuddled up to people you love.

hmmm... that's funny - that is another thing i don't miss about the south - bad weather!

if thunder came without lightning it would be fine.

anyway, glad you like 'em! :-)

Are Ted Dekker's books scary? They look a bit freaky. Is he a Christian author?

hahahaha. sorry beth.....but i just chuckled out loud with the thought of carol running outside after a good gully-washer to bend down and sniff the asphalt. that's hilarious!

david and i used to sit just outside our front door and watch a good thunderstorm roll in. the dark clouds, the noise, the wind......there was something very ominously cool about it. however, the fact that florida was the lightning capital of the world is a bit too much to handle now in my thinking. too risky!!

and what's so funny about smellin the pavement? heee heee - it smells good! :-)

& you don't think living in the zone of an active volcano is a bit risky? heee hee

most people find other things to snort, and there's cooka, out there sniffing pavement!! hahaha. kidding!

the zone of the volcano thing? it's just too stinking hard for me to even believe that the huge, gorgeous peak in my bedroom window is a potentially deadly volcano!! with the lightning (and the black widows, brown recluses, and various poisonous snakes), it's just so easy for me to see that as harmful!! not so much with rainier!
