Whew . . . Again

 The Weatherazzi was on live from before 8:00 last night until way after midnight, following and covering the severe storms and tornadoes in southern Indiana and possibly moving into our area.  The Old Man asked me to stay up with him till the bad weather was over, watching the storm coverage.  We are happy to report that none of the most severe storms made it to our area, and we both went to bed a bit after midnight.  Once again, we are thankful for protection for The Compound.  Needless to say, we are a bit tired today, along with a lot of other people I'm sure. 

Happy Fathers Day

 TWIT and I would like to wish my faithful readers that are fathers or substitute fathers a very happy Fathers Day.  The Old Man has had a goof Fathers Day.  I made him one of his favorite breakfast meals, SOS.  And then made his mother's/my grandmother's hamburger goulash for supper.  We're getting ready to cap the night off with some cheesecake.  He's happy and in a good mood, and his hip isn't hurting too much. I can't ask for much more. 

Flashback Friday

 During my purging the past couple of weeks, I found something yesterday that really intrigued me.  It was a small daily planner from 1985.  I haven't read it yet, but I will, and will post a picture of the little book later.  I can't wait to see what I had to say over 40 years ago.  

Stay tuned. 

Whew . . .

 For a couple of days, the weatherazzi was getting worked up over a big storm Wednesday night into Thursday morning. They were right.  At 5:00 this morning, the civil defense sirens went off and you could hear it the thunder, lightning and rain. The Old Man and I got up and turned on a local news channel to see what areas were under the tornado warnings.  Other than wind an a ton of rain, we were in the clear here in the south end.  The sirens stopped at 6:00 and they cancelled the tornado warnings, so we went back to bed.  But the storms kept on - needless to say we didn't get much sleep. I definitely see a nap in my future. 

New Product Review

 

For weeks I have been reading about Blue Bell Red, White and Blue Bell ice cream, in honor of the mega 4th of July celebration.  I got a carton last week and it did not disappoint.  It's a Neapolitan version with strawberry, vanilla and blue berry ice creams.  I've had it for three nights now in old school cones.  I plan to have another tonight.  The Old Man ate a cone full but wasn't crazy about it - he is still a chocolate Moose Tracks fan.  But TWIT and I will give this not one but two thumbs up.  

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm

 There are a lot of homeless people here in our area, and I noticed that I've seen them usually sitting with their bags or shopping carts by an ice cooler in store parking lots.  On Saturday, I saw a woman with a shopping cart full of her belongings sitting on the sidewalk next to the ice cooler at Dollar General Store. As I got ready to pull out of the parking lot, I noticed something - she was plugging a charging cord into the electric outlet where the ice cooler was plugged in.  Then I saw her plug the cord into her cell phone.  Now I know whey they camp out by the ice coolers. 

Happy National Bourbon Day

 TWIT and I would like to wish you, faithful readers, a very happy National Bourbon Day.  The Old Man and I will be celebrating later tonight with a shot of Bulleit bourbon.  Enjoy.
