After work we made sandwich and packed up a picnic basket. As soon as we opened the garage door we noticed a storm had hit. The wind was blowing furiously. We got in the car anyway to see if things would change. We started backing out and saw lightening so we pulled right back in. We had our picnic on the family room floor as the rain started to pour. While we were eating we heard a huge boom and the house rattled. Lightning had struck someone very close. It was good to be safe indoors tonight. We finished our movie around 8:00 and went upstairs. It had stopped raining and the ground was dry – you couldn’t even tell a storm had rolled through. I guess that is one of the joys of living on the foothills of the mountains.
