Wild weather weekend

Another Pizza Friday
 We ordered a Sicilian and a Chicago. Though I would have loved to get a California or a Capri!
Thunderstorm rolled in
 When we got there it was so nice we were debating sitting out at the picnic tables. We chose to sit inside.  Good choice. Before our pizza arrived dark clouds gathered and while we were eating there were flashes of lightning.  They were actually pretty far to the north.  One bolt took out a 100 ft tree near Hudson's Bay High School in Vancouver.
Baseball on the TV
 Sparky's isn't a sports bar but they do have a TV that was tuned to a sports channel. Courtney, Charlie and Harlan all watched.  Har was checking the crawl across the bottom for hockey scores. The Devils won in overtime and advanced to the Stanley Cup finals. In case you were wondering ;0)

Quick stop at the Mall
 Our boys need to get out more.  They are so ansty to get home whenever Har and I are relaxing over coffee. Perhaps they are typical men and only shop (hunt) when they need something and leave as soon as they are finished.

Saturday doings
 There is a brand new Guitar Center location at Hayden Meadows. We stopped by there on Saturday afternoon. I am totally happy to sit in the van when the boys go in there. Have iPad will read :-)  Courtney and Charlie were at Guitar Center with a friend of theirs at the same time we were there.  I'm glad we don't have to travel down to Clackamas anymore for our music needs.

Trying out the Sofia
 Harlan and I went through the step by step guide and successfully managed to embroider something. I'm sure it's much more exciting to me than you. But I find it amazing to be able to do such beautiful work so easily!
 I picked up these cutsie fabrics today for $1 and $2 a yard.  I'm making a small quilt for Genevieve's Kindergarten teacher. 

Wild rain with thunder and lightning
 I have never seen it rain so hard here.  And am glad that it didn't last very long.  It was maybe a half hour of torrential downpour and then it tapered off to just rain.
The cars were leaving a wake. and the water was over the curb in the low areas.  We didn't go out and see the typical trouble spots in the neighborhood though I'm sure they would've been impressive.

Thunder and lightning are fun. We've had a lot of that the past few weeks! We are sure excited about coming over soon, another 9 daysorsomething :)
