Storms never bothered me as a child. I use to love to put on my bathing suit, barefoot, and jump in all those puddles... Mom would make me come in if it was lightning. But with lightning came thunder, so I would run inside at the first crack. My mom use to tell me that it was the Angels bowling. I'm sure every mother told there kid that. I know I did... I loved storms when we were out to our cottage. Because the waves were raging, and I remember standing outside with my dad and all the neighbor guys, discussing this storm. With a beer in there hand. I never had fear back then. When my kids were little and a storm was a brewing. We lived in a duplex, with no basement and we would take the kids, and our bird down to our neighbors basement.... I still wasn't afraid of storms... the kids, and parents we all played pool, some dance...it was like a party...no fear... Now, I live by the weather mans report. I have a program from each tv station on my phone, and the weather station, even an app for tornados. But it's not fun any more... I don't go run in the rain barefoot, or jump in puddles, but I try to keep a bottle of wine in the frig, a snack or two, and set stuff up in the bathroom for two....me and my dog buddy. I'm in the tub, he curls around the toilet... no fear... well maybe a little bit... by ~ judy

A Storm is heading our way.

It's almost time for those storms...summer storms, which seem to be happening all seasons...I say I have no fear, but I try and tell myself that....be brave....
