Immerse my brain

Ken got home Friday night. A huge storm passed through Esky that afternoon. My cousin Brian called afterwards & said a tornado touched down in Gladstone. So scary! I saw the storm coming in so I let the dogs out. I knew rain was coming. but when I was outside my neighbor came over & tol me to seek shelter, that a tornado warning/watch was on it's way. YIKES!! So inward we went.

Now here's where the wackadoodle Kat comes into play. Immediately I began drawing water in the bathtub & lighting candles. With all the heine explosions the pups had been having I wanted to make sure if we lost power we'd still have some water for them so they wouldn't get dehydrated. Plus I'm a cool worry wart like that! I called Ken & asked if he'd talk to me. I was on my cell phone. It got wicked windy & water was coming from all sorts of directions. The clouds were just twirling...and so was my tummy!!!

That finally ended & a handful of hours later Ken got home!! =) Total happiness there. We barely saw each other last week. Unfortunately we missed David's birthday party. But with the dogs not feeling too swellacious I decided to stay home anyways to prevent a messy house.

Saturday was our neighborhood block party. So I made 3 of those blueberries & cream pies, a pan of blueberry lattice bars & a pan of brownies that morning while Ken ran to Manistique to deliver his load from earlier in the week.

When he got home we went to the Art in The Park down by the lake. It's such a wonderful event chocked full of immense talent!! My favorite part was watching a fella do a demonstration of throwing pottery. Oh, and the used book sale was fantastical! I left that table 7 books richer. I don't remember off hand what all of the titles are right now but two of them were The Odyssey & The Scarlet Letter. I haven't read The Odyssey since High School & have never read The Scarlet Letter. Totally can't wait for some free time to immerse my eyes & brain!!

When we got home we chilled out for a lil bit & then headed over to the party...
