Stormin' Around

Something broke off from one of these trees....

...and landed here.

Well, it's nothing compared to what happened other places, but  perhaps we can see why the boys, who were on their computers next to the second tier of windows, skedaddled for the downstairs during that storm.

Thinking back, I should  have called them earlier, but the lightning hadn't started as yet. The wind did come up rather suddenly, however.

Anyway, that's that. We cleaned up the branches in the yard next morning, as well as those nearby the bins of the farmer's property. Might as well, I figured.

Seems like every day this week has involved something out of the ordinary. And we end up with a continuation of that theme, because...

Ma will be traveling down to Des Moines for Kendra's graduation banquet, this evening!

Oh boy, more fun and frivolity :-D

Staying overnight with Kendra in a motel, and then the rest of the family will head down for the graduation ceremony Saturday morning.

I keep telling Trevor and Nolan that they will have to leave earlier than they usually crawl out of bed on Sundays, but I don't think that's sunk in to their brains, as yet.

Extra vacation fer Ma, not being here to roust the troops on an early Saturday :-) My capable second in domestic command (Carolyn) will have that privilege.

Must hold up a small pretense of normal life for a bit, including mustering my students for their last computer drills of the week....
