Big Whoop for ME!

Sooooo, I am snuggled in bed last night with Mr. Man Thebestdogthereverwas and a good cookbook Yes, cookbook!!! I love a good cookbook. Anyway...brrrrng the phone rings. It was Naomi calling to tell me that there was a bad storm with high winds and hail headed our way.

I got out of bed and went and told Cita, my mother. My mother loves a storm. I don't get it. We flipped on the news and surenuff it was coming. But the good news was there was no risk of a tornado! Thank goodness.

Then I had a breakthrough....step-by-step:

• I opened the back door to let the cool air in and listen to the storm.
• I got the courage to step outside and watch.
• Then it happened! I was able to sit on the back porch and watch the storm come in-hail and all!

Most of you are thinking "big whoop". Well, it is "big whoop" for me. You see I lived through THE STORM OF APRIL 2008. It was scary. Sirens going off, lights going out, wind wheezing through the house, hiding in closet, praying to God for our protection. I don't like storms. No, I take that back, I hate storms. Especially ones that might produce a tornado. Here are some pics.

So big whoop for me!
