It Was A Wild Night......

What a difference a few years makes, several years ago if I said "It was a wild night" that usually would mean  a night of partying it up!  Oh how time changes us all. Last night was a wild night but it sure wasn't due to partying!

2:00 am:  Loud boom and we are shaken out of our bed!  What the heck was that? Was that thunder? (we did have storms moving in from the West).  Doc and Ringo my two Boston's are going crazy barking and very upset.   Get up open up the front door see my neighbors out with a flashlight also trying to figure out what the heck it was.  Come to find out this morning we had an Earthquake!  I was used to them while we were living in Alaska, had them all the time, but you never think about them in Texas!  Finally get situated and back in the bed.

5:00 am:  I am awakened by one tiny Chihuahua sitting on my head crying and panting, about that time Boom! I thought not again, but this time the lightening followed, the storms had arrived.  So I am up again for a bit with a scared little dog.  Finally get back to bed and back to sleep about 6:00 am.

I am looking forward to a nice calm peaceful night tonight.  These days about as wild as I get is sewing up some wild animal print, like this Eyeglass Case.

Go wild this weekend and have a great time!  As for me, I am hoping for a tame one!

Mama Said There Would Be Days Like This.....

You ever have days where everything seems to go wrong?  That was my day on Friday, first our air conditioner stopped working in our house, it was 93 degrees outside and very muggy.  Called the repairman and waited.  He got here late in the afternoon, did a repair to limp us through the weekend, until he can get the actual part/kit to fix it properly on Monday.

Tried to work on some things for my shop but most of what I was working on just wouldn't come out the way I wanted it to.  I decided it was because it was just too hot back in my work area and the heat was messing with my judgement.

Later Friday evening a bad storm came through, lots of lightening, thunder, and wind.  I heard an awful crash and knew somewhere a tree had fallen!  This is what we saw the next morning.

Frustrating yes it is. But it is not as bad as it could of been! 

I am not the type of person who allows the struggles of everyday life to sour me.  My faith carries me through these trials and I believe these experiences make me a stronger and a better person in the end.  After I snapped this picture I looked up and noticed this, the beautiful sun shining down through the trees.

I stood for a moment basking in this blessing.  No matter what life throws at us there is always a blessing if you just open your mind, open your eyes and see it.  My cup runneth over and I am forever thankful for that!
