Even though last night’s Alert had Kathy on edge when she finally got to bed her knowledge of the forecast for more severe weather throughout the night was the last thing she was thinking about. With the Heavy Bedcover off the bed we both slept quite soundly. As mentioned in yesterday’s Blog we don’t have many Tornado Warnings in our area but it seems they are increasing in frequency and Wildwood will have to consider making a Solid Shelter in the future.

I even slept past 8:00 this morning and before I had finished getting the Window Shades opened and Breakfast ready Kathy was already coming down stairs. When we finished eating we took our Coffees over to our Computers.

After checking The Weather Network and seeing that this was going to be a comfortable day I went on to check the local news. I was saddened to see a former Coworker as having passed. I told Kathy a few stories of things that had taken place when Armand and I worked together. When I read further I noticed the date was not yesterday and that Army had a Motorcycle. Lots of drivers don’t see Motorcycles these days especially at 5:00 in the morning when they are intoxicated. The driver that struck Armand was DRUNK! When will they learn?

I had to make a few phone calls before lunch. Two weeks ago I had gone On-Line to pay my Legion Dues for the upcoming year. When Kathy didn’t notice the Transaction on our account she told me to check it out. The person I spoke to said all my Information had been entered but it had not been processed like a number of other people that had been calling about their Dues. This is a new system and they are still working the Glitches out.

I called Rose City Ford to add a service requirement when we bring our Escape in for its Oil Change. Because it would take longer then expected we had to move the Appointment to a different day and earlier in the morning. Darned Alarm Clock!

After going outside to pick up our Potted Trees that were blown over from last night’s storm, I also noted that we had nearly Two Inches of Rain throughout the night. I was wondering why the ground was so spongy this morning.

For lunch Kathy heated up a couple of Tourtieres she found at the grocery store. She found these early this summer and they are the closest we have found that our mothers used to make and they are made with very little salt. They tasted wonderful and were the perfect size.

After lunch we worked together to create a Vegetable Tray that Kathy would be bringing with her later to a Party she was attending this evening.

There are some things when researching where we are going that only one person can do. Like the expression “Too many Cooks spoil the Broth”, too many planners spoil the trip. While Kathy was at the table with the Maps and her Magnifying Glass I washed the Dishes.

For supper Kathy sliced a small Ham, grilled it then served it with the sliced Tomatoes and Greek Pasta Salad as a side. We tried the Homemade Cranberry Sauce and Honey Mustard on the Ham to see which tasted better. They each gave it a different taste but they were both winners in our books.

It happens to all of us eventually and it can’t be helped but tonight was it for Kathy and I. The Party she was attending was a Sign Painting Party for Women Only being held at our daughter Karen’s house in Tecumseh. Kathy always had problems driving at night, but now that she’s had her Cataract Surgery she can see clearly. So with the Vegie Tray off she went in the Car to have a fun evening.

Since this was Wednesday evening I took the Truck and headed off to visit with our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa in Amherstburg. We had plenty to talk about and when Melissa went to check things in the other room Kevin and I were talking about his Street Rod. Even Cameron had a lot to say this evening plus he was modeling one of the T-Shirts that we had given him for his Birthday this year. He got a lot of compliments about it at school today. By the time I was about to leave the temperature had started dropping. Kevin who is normally comfortable in the cool weather was noticing the chill in the breeze.

It was shortly after 9:00 when I got Home and was greeted by the Full Moon peering through the few clouds in the sky. I had barely gotten started on my Computer when Kathy got Home.
