What a blast of weather. Sitting on the toilet this morning, I saw a bright flash of light. I swear not long after that when the boom of thunder caught up to the lightening it made me wonder if I was sitting on a rip tide. Multiple loud booms literally shook the house. It did rain quite heavily for most of the forenoon. We had an appointment at one this afternoon six blocks from home at the VA Clinic. When we came out we had to clear the car of very wet snow.

The Mayo clinic is across the county road and we headed there for a 2 p.m. appointment. Dennis is one week out of his surgery and keeping track of his reaction to meds and also checking the surgery site made both of these appointments important. We came out of the Mayo clinic at 2:45 and the visibility was less than a half block. Let me tell you, it has been a long time since we have been out in bad weather and having had a hard time getting through the snow on our driveway. It was wonderful to be home safe and sound. We are in March . . . right?
