A brief encounter

 

that turned into a fun ongoing adventure...

so to speak

The winds that hit the Northwest were wild. Many homes and cars were smashed, power out for thousands and two lives were taken. 

News travels... I got a phone call from our cousin in Colorado.  But she  had no idea, she  just wanted a recipe

The worst "damage" to our place was leaves and more leaves
The grand boys take care of that 
and then
walk across the street to move even more leaves 

With power and smiles we were able to host some friends and family for three days.  It is fun to make a special breakfast for company.  

Second morning....

 ( even though it looked silly, it still tasted like a Dutch babies should )

We played some games....well,
practiced a new one... they each won one, I did not 

After three days, all our family had power, headed home, and we miss them.... but we are all so thankful for electricity.   

May we always be thankful for those everyday "good things, necessities, expectations"

I live an exciting life
