Last night we had dire predictions for severe weather in our area. So I waited for it. The winds started blowing, the skies darkened and the lightening and thunder edged closer bringing rain.

It was early in the evening-not quite dark. Shortly into it we lost power. Last time that happened it was out for 17 hours!

So I had a brilliant idea. Why don't I strip down and go out in the rain to cool off and wash up? (The storm was leaving and the thunder/lightening were passed.)

M looked at me as though I was off my rocker. Yet I went forth anyway and dropped all my clothes on the kitchen floor and moved boldly forward into the cool, cool rain. (We live out in the country.)

Wow did it feel good! I turned and M had followed my lead : )

Ah, life's simple pleasures!
