It's the Weekend

Mother Nature has been showing her stuff her in Missouri this afternoon. We've have been having some severe thunderstorms, and quite a bit of hail...it has started and stopped three different times...alot of it bigger than moth ball size...even a few that were pretty close to golf ball size. Man...it sounded like it was coming through the roof of my house. It has calmed down now a bit, and it's just a steady shower, which is really rather nice...and a distant rumble of thunder every now and then. I love the smell of the air after a rain like this...it is so clean, and clear. I would just love it if it would settle in like this with a soft rain for the rest of the evening. What a relaxing evening at home that would make, with the sound of the rain, and the clean smell drifiting through the open window. It is somewhat comforting, in a way.

Sorry that it's been a few days since I was in. We've been rather busy around here. We finally found out that Lee's mom was coming down on whatever day Lee was going to have off....so, on Wed., Lee found out he was going to have Thurs off, so I called Laura, to let her know, and she said she'd be here the following morning. It is about 1 1/2 hr. drive from the Lake...where she is staying. She's staying with Peggy...Cindy's mom...Peggy is her sister-in-law...Anyway, once I knew she would be here the following day, I finished up on what I had left to do on the house, which really wasn't much. It was about down to the kitchen, which isn't my favorite room, but the kitchen wasn't bad to begin with. I did a little more than just swipe the counters, and took everything off, and made sure everything was clean, got my floors mopped. Laura got here about 11 on Thursday morning. We visited for awhile, then went down the road a couple of miles to a restaurant we love, and had some lunch. We had already made plans to go out to Landon's for supper, so around 3, after Landon got off work, I went to get him so we could go to the store to get the rest of the things we needed for supper. We went on back to Ashland, then Lee, Laura and Moriah came a little later after Lee picked up his check around 5. We had a wonderful dinner, and naturally, Laura thought Mary was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, Lee had to work on Fri. Laura stayed for a few hours, then around noon we both took off and were going to make a stop at the Goodwill on her way out of town. We got lucky, and found a few bargins. She headed back to the lake, and then she'll be back tomorrow to spend probably 3-4 days or so.

I had to get out and run to the bank before they closed at noon, then to the store to get some groceries for our supper tomorrow night. I am going to pick up Landon and the rest of the gang, and they're coming over for dinner tomorrow night when Lee's mom is here. This afternoon, I haven't done much but mess on the puter, and sit and enjoy the refreshing rain that we've been having....well, mind you, we could have done without the hail. But, the rain has renewed the air.

I have also added a couple of new pages to my blog...you can access them though my home page... http://www.levsnotes.blogspot.com or http://loveofmylife-lee.blogspot.com/ I hope you enjoy.

I guess I'll head outta here...just wanted to touch base since it had been awhile. I'll be around...keepin' up with all that's going on here. Hope you have a great day!

Much love,
Lev
