Thursday morning...autumn came with a BANG in WI and MN last evening. Above average temperatures the past few days spawned high winds, tornadoes, 2" hail and an ocean of rain. Many homes torn apart last evening between 6 and 9 p.m. in MN. Flash flood warnings and massive power outages. As of this a.m. the metro area has closed many schools and almost 200,000 are without power. Nothing like Katrina, but much clean up needed.
The storm also brought relief from the 80-90 degree temps. It's a brisk 55 degrees in my little corner of the world today. High in the mid 60's.
I am very happy to be home from the happiest place on earth, and just slightly dizzy from my time at the Mad Hatter's tea party...those tea cups are something else...LOL.

I will forgive you having to pinch your nose underwater because you impressed me with touching the palms of your hands to the floor without bending your knees.... I have wanted to do that ever since I got old. LOL
What exactly are these me-mes? I love reading yours!
Welcome back, Finn...you've been missed!

I think me-mes are a good name for these yet they are fun! I enjoyed reading your 'lists'. Wouldn't it be great to drive a trotting horse though (and this from me who doesn't ride at all).. I read a childrens's book by Marguerite Henry once, and I know this sounds silly but I felt like I was right there driving that horse around the track with her....Sorry to hear about that storm and the damage. Thanks for doing the 'tag'. Smiles to you!
I love your 5 Things List. How about sharing the BBQ meatballs recipe with us?
