Mom's 77th Birthday

Today I was celebrating again but this time it was for my mom who's birthday is only 3 days after mine. My brothers cooked and everyone contributed and we all met up at my parent's house to wish a happy 77th Birthday to my mom. We started out being outside but these dark clouds and cool breeze filled the sky and then we heard the **BOOM**of thunder. Everyone grabbed what they could and we all head inside.
It still went very well even with the thunderstorms. At one time the power in the entire house went out but it came on again in just a minute or two. It was good timing because we were just about to sing happy birthday. I thought someone turned the lights off for us to sing.
I nearly ended up on the floor at my moms because my granddaughter had climbed up a flight of stairs and I was standing at the bottom. I looked at her and smiled and I saw this look come over her and before I could even open my mouth to say anything she was airborne!! Jump direct at me with no warning!! Thank goodness I caught her! I tried to explain she can only do things like that with big strong people like her uncle and that you have to say "ready, set, go" Yikes, it scared the crap out of me!
It is still lightening now and I've been home for hours already. Tomorrow promises to be a better day weather wise. I hope to get around to a swim. Right now the house is so quiet it seems a shame to go to sleep. I could probably get a lot done. However, I am too tired and must also go to bed now. Goodnight!
