Auntie Em.....

OMG -they were predicting rain for yesterday afternoon into evening...  i wasnt really paying attention and the storms that blew through were amazing...  rain, wind gusts, thunder, lightning, hail, power outage... 
we were going to go to a new trail today to go walking but given there was still no power at midnight it was uncertain as to what our morning would entail... also not too sure what would have fallen along the trail...  i may want to go walking along the river but i sure dont want to have to lug along a machete to cut my own way through the brush...
so instead i am sitting on the couch watching the morning news, waiting for my coffee to brew...
the day will most likely entail some work, some banking, some cleaning and ultimately a workout...
i spent most of yesterday's storm time - before i lost signal on my computer - working on the Ireland itinerary...  probably will find myself sucked into that again today  :)

In other storm news - there was an American Dog Breeders Association in Morganton yesterday.  Spectators were hit by lightning and one of the dogs was killed.  How sad...  I think - didnt they see or hear it coming.  But then I was on the phone when the first lightning and thunder made itself known and it was pretty startling and seemed pretty darned close...  So sad...
