Young Jedis

Sam is in Oklahoma safe and sound.  His luggage was lost for a while. (Thanks Sherrie for taking care of him).

We had a thunderstorm last night, lots of thunder and lightning.  It didn't seem to bother any of the kids though, they were just upset that I made them turn off the computers and the tv!

Abby decided to "swing" from the patio curtains yesterday, so I pulled a chair over to fix the curtain rod and broke the chair leg. Now we have a bent curtain rod and a broken chair...........oh well, I wanted new chairs anyway!

This picture is of my Jacob and his friend Jacob, they were sitting on a branch outside talking about Star Wars.........

Journal Question:  Do you like thunderstorms? 

 Why or why not?

 

Lorie:

I love thunderstorms.  When we lived in Oklahoma, Sam and I used to watch the storms from our patio. Although, we did not like the time we drove through the tail end of a tornado in Dallas.  We couldn't even see to pull over!

Alexander:

I like the noise of thunderstorms.

Do you like thunderstorms? Why or why not?  Sign in and let us know!

Happy to hear that Sam made it safely to Oklahima. He sure has a time with his luggage. This has been the scenario since 1991 when they lost his luggage on his return from Desert Storm. At least he made the trip safely and they didn't lose him.

Lorie!! What a way to get new chairs. Lucky that you didn't break a leg.

The picture of Jacob is real cute. Are you sure that you didn't slip one of Sam's pictures in there and say that it is Jacob? The picture really is cute. They look so deep in thought.

I don't mind thunderstorms. I just don't like lightening. I mainly didn't like them when we hauled munitions. One of the worst ones was when we tried to deliver ammuniton to the bunkers at Parris Island. We had to close the doors on the trailer and wait for the lightening to stop. They had to get completely away from the truck and trailer. They sat in the office flying paper airplanes at each other until the storm was over. They were happy Marines. Time off duty.

Lorie, keep up the great work. I look forward to the new entries. You should slip a pic of Sam in and see if anyone notices.

Love you all.
