It's been a quiet day!"
I know! It's been sad, but kinda nice at the same time. π Nice for me at least, because I've been out all day.

Hi Pammy,
Good Heavens! What a week!
That is frightening.
Are you all doing all right?
A while back we had thunder that shook
the house, later lightening bolt followed by
a loud thunder seemed to hit the middle of
the street. My poor sister, who was in a
deep asleep on the lounge in front of the
window, sprinted across the room in two
seconds.
Please send the storm our way!

I also love storms, they are so infrequent in
these parts. We usually open the windows
to the winds to blow through, it's so refreshing.
36Β°πSob! Not until January.

Wow, I thought you all would get a lot of storms with all that heat and humidity! Some years we get a lot, but not this year.

Yes, I have been too fatigued to
