I just sent you the video...pouring and hailing on my deck as the sun was shining. If you know how to get a single picture, feel free. I have no clue. LOL!

Unfortunately, I don’t have a way to get pics or videos off my lil flip phone into the computer.
At least I can watch your videos now, which I couldn’t do when sent to my email. My computer wouldn’t recognize the format.

It sure was pouring, and the hail was loud!

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Looks like Gizmo really enjoyed his time at Comanche Lake yesterday. Lots of fun stuff to do. The ribs look yummy!

Enjoy your Sunday adventures.

You’ve had a taste of what goes on here. And it appears you like it about as much as I do. LOL As long as there isn’t strong wind knocking things over, I love a good storm.

The weather has been in the 80’s here, with some T-Storms that are really dramatic.

Blue is NOT amused.

It was exhausting but worth every long mile to get to see our kids!

I hope you have a Blessed Sunday, too!

I grew up with the men of 1900-1960s. They were quiet, aware, watchful wwi and wwii veterans. They drank their whiskeys neat, smoked filterless Luckies and Camels. Some smoked cigars or pipes. They were engineers, insurance men, small business owners, designers, inventors, musicians, chefs, and managers. Where they got together, away from their wives, they smoked, drank and talked cars, boats, and the days’ news in deep rumbling tones. They never talked sports and paid it cursory attention. They all had played in two of the biggest games of the century - war. The only leisuure sports i saw them in were golf and boating. They worked hard seldom home before 6pm. They improved the world around them. They were a breed apart. I miss them terribly.

Howdy, Allegra!

Wasn’t that a beauty? It was neat watching it “grow”.
A nice addition to the already gorgeous scenery around Anchorage. You never know what you’ll see on the Lake Hood cam from one day to the next. The planes are a lot of fun to watch taking off and landing on the lake.
And sometimes a cam op will zoom in on and track some of the planes from Elmendorf. Love those!

I hope you’re staying nice and cool. My guess is it’s hotter there than it is here and it’s been pretty rough here this week.

That’s a lovely tribute to your dad and his peers. And the times of stronger men and stronger morals.

My dad was ten years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed, so he wasn’t in WWII, but he and his friends collected scrap metal. I loved hearing his stories about those days.

Dad learned to fly planes as a teenager and the Navy recruited him. He served as a recon pilot (and also flew a desk on many assignments) for 28 years. His war was the Cold War.

He went home to the Lord in 2015 and is buried next to my mom at Arlington. I miss him.

I wish I could post the picture that I had along with the post. It was perfect for those men in that generation.
