came home from work to rumbling thunder and sprinkles....(another big storm predicted tonite) and Miss mowing the yard. Kevin is trying to get the weedeater running. they mowed Marie's yard today. I got Thursday off for Uncle Bob's funerals, so made plans to meet Mom at Snappys at 8a.m. and ride together. stopped at store on way home, don't think the pectin I got to try and fix my jelly is right, either, but after I had somebody find it for me, felt obligated to buy it. and I'm thinking of making apple jelly, too.....did get some huge maters and some ribeyes and garden onions to grill.
tornados touched down last nite, and Mother Nature doesn't seem to like hog barns much....Badger 3 is rubble. they had to destroy the animals that survived. I imagine it was pretty awful. as well as a huge financial loss to the company. guess after cleanup they'll just scatter the employees to short barns. there's always somebody needing help. A facebook friend shared a picture from the Fire Dept. page.....sure am glad I didn't pull up to this at Peach 5 this morning.
she tried to video it, but didn't get it. (which is much better than her own mother taking pictures of her rolling over for the first time....off her parents bed!)
storm p.m.....thunderstorm warning, wind warning, hail warning, tornado watch, tornado warning...on facebook they said Mercer sirens went off....didn't hear them here. of course, the a/c is on, and the tv is on.....I'm just glad we are home and altogether and safe (so far....)
how did I not know about Trueblood sooner? finished the first book, with much to ponder....if I would ingest vampire blood, wouldn't need hair dye, lotion, or vitamins anymore....
picked up Katie, finished the jelly, but it didn't set, so going to buy more pectin tomorrow and try to 'fix' it. ordered a coconut cake from Ms BJ, due Thursday. 'discovered' the Bourbon St. cam.....had fun peeking in on my fave city at random intervals. now I wonder if WE were on the cam....how frickin' cool would that be?
Sookie Stackhouse, Dead Until Dark, by Charlaine Harris. Koren loaned me the books on vacation.....about halfway thru this one, already know I'll have to start watching Trueblood from season one when I get thru!
Mudcats game cancelled for rain, rescheduled for July 8th. have to pick Kate up in a bit at church in Blue Ridge. also need to buy lemon juice to finish up my Queen Anne's lace jelly.
one facebook friend suggested it was BearBeast or Sheepsquatch and that I should call Trapper and the boys up here to investigate......told her I needed a nickname and a trail camera to get evidence to show them....
are these wiener dogs lucky to have me or what?
