We had quite a violent and exciting storm last evening. I\u2019m a storm kinda gal and love to watch storms up close and personal.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We got the truck all loaded up for the party and got out the door before the storm hit our area. We didn\u2019t get too far down the road where we saw a huge dark black line in the sky. The radio was on enough so that we could hear the news and there was a tornado watch and asking everyone to take cover. We could feel the truck rocking side to side at the stop lights when I asked Bobby if he was sure he wanted to drive in this weather. He said he was already committed so away we went plowing through that dark mess. We were both on the look out for a tornado but continued on to the party. There were several tornados in our area last evening and so glad we dodged them! <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t have to carry on in the major mess for very long but it was pretty treacherous the whole way, about a 45 min drive. We arrived to the party where Sue was wrapping up the final details. Their power was out due to the storm so lucky her that she planed a cookout. The power eventually came back on and the party carried on. Many of our friends reported seeing golf ball size hail and we heard on the news that areas in Fort Worth<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> reported tennis ball size hail. That storm didn\u2019t rain on Mike\u2019s big day as 30 plus guests came for his celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby couldn\u2019t resist the Depends. But we also gave him a grill thermometer. It\u2019s the kind where you poke the meat with the probe and take the other hand held device with you indoors or wherever. You can program it for chicken, beef, pork and that little hand held device keeps the constant digital temperature of the meat. It will also sound an alarm 5 degrees before the meat is finished and then the alarm will go off again when the meat is done. I love ours and won\u2019t cook meat on the grill without it.<\/span><\/p>\n

What a hoot! Mike got this cane complete with a little horn. The horn is the little blue circle thingy where you see his finger pressed against.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What a wonderful party and Mike sure had an exciting entrance into his 50\u2019s<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
