I had a few left over water bottles. Of course Andy makes a competition out of how many he can carry...! ;)

Julie’s been experimenting with “different” recipes... Here she’s made us dandelion root coffee substitute.

The first sip was surprisingly strong and earthy, but it kind of grew on me after that.  It was apparently popular in the Civil war era.  They would use this when they ran short on coffee and still wanted that sharp, warm cup of comfort in the morning.  It was a lot of work for a couple cups!

You can see the history and recipe here:

Feeling fortunate tonight. No major damage and no injuries in my family.

You can see my quick pics here. Only ~1,500 feet from the home of my sis!

Eerie...!

Luckily it went north of us. 1,000 feet north of my sister...! Yikes. Glad we're all safe.

The noise is the thunder rumbling off in the distance, not wind noise. Epic storms last night...

Pretty nasty looking on my radar app. Glad we has some warning.

Nature’s fury last night... Luckily we could just watch from a distance.

The worst went very close to my sister's house. They are all ok, but lots of limbs down and a hole in their roof. Glad they are ok! Heading over to help with cleanup.

We got to see a sample of all of Isaac’s various choirs.


They put on several great shows.  You can get a feel for it if you want to follow the link below:

Pepper was hanging out on my shoulder.

I was trying to get ready in the morning, but she had other ideas.

Johnny, Andy, Isaac and I got to see the Drago’s game!

They gave us great seats, they all got to high-five Heater and Isaac even got a selfi!

We really enjoyed Cirque du Soleil Corteo!

I'm having a hard time picking a favorite, I took too many pics, but you can see them here, if you want.  Just click the link below:

I am happy I could freeze the action in this low light setting!  The set and acts were so beautiful.  Fun to capture!

Andy’s video game matches his shirt...

Nice way to spend the evening. Chillin' on the back porch.

Andy is so serious...
