~ KABOOM ~

    

Imagine that sound and multiply it 100 times and that is what I woke up to this morning.  I was off in slumber land enjoying sleep when all of a sudden the sound rattled through my house and made my windows shake.  I jumped out of bed thinking I was going to find a car or truck in my living room.  I ran down my small hallway into the living room only to find nothing.  I went to the picture window, stubbing my toe on the coffee table to look out the front window.  Again nothing to see but rain pouring down and small pond in my front lawn.  Then a rumble, low at first, like that of your tummy growling when hungry and it slowly got louder and louder, then KABOOM.  The house shook and the windows rattled.  I think I jumped too.  Aaaaaahhhh April showers!  I thought about crawling back in bed, but I would never be able to sleep with that racket.  Imagine that!  A girl who needs the TV on for sound and/or a night light to go to bed at night can't sleep through a 'little' rain storm.   Ooohhh Good Morning by the way :)

 

The party last night was fun.  It was a small get together of family for cake and ice cream.  Hmmm did I say cake and ice cream, I meant ice cream cake.  It was luscious!  I was able to snap a picture before the candle was inserted.  Looks too good to eat, right?  Not on your life!  We tore into it like we were a family that always ate somewhat healthy.  Bottom layer was like a pound cake instead of the graham cracker type crust.  A huge layer of vanilla ice cream, a bit of frosting and the fruit.  It was out of this world and as I type about it I wish I had some now.  What better for breakfast then birthday cake!   Well, ok chocolate cake is better in the morning, I'll agree :)~ 

 

                    

 

Got some mixed reviews on my entry last night.  You all know I love Gage dearly and he can't control what folks buy him, nor can his parents, really.  I was thrilled with the guitar and amp.  He has showed a lot of interest in music lately and he really seems to enjoy playing.  He pays attention to his uncle and tries really hard.  He even sings.  I think it's a good thing to be involved in a few things.  He plays soccer, is a boy scout, and now music.  Well rounded and keeps him from just sitting in front of the TV playing video games.  The cell phone, well I think it's over the top.  It has prepaid minutes so it won't be a curse on his mom and dad.  I just don't get it as I rarely even see him on the phone.  He talks to his cousin in MD on occasion but that's about it.  It's not like he needs it.  Where is he going to take it?  School?  Can you imagine his teacher?  LMAO!   Ok, not really funny and I can't explain it, so I am just going with the idea that his uncle wasted his money. 

 

The rain has since stopped and my pond is gone.  It's a good thing, but I had wondered if the ducks I've heard the past few weeks would stop for a visit.  Not today.   I'm seeing some buds on the trees and it won't be long now.  The grass is slowly coming back to life and turning beautiful shades of green.  Now I just need to hope the weatherman is wrong and we will not get snow later in the week.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday morning.  Posting a few other graphics that I did the other day.  Not sure about the water movement in the lighthouse one.  Looks a bit jumpy or off, but :::sigh::: just pretend you hear the crashing of the waves.  The one I call 'spring pond' just called me.  I love the soft colors, smooth movement, and the peaceful setting.  Much better then dreary day I'm having.

 

Hugs
