Is that lightening?

Well, here it is another weekend and the work week is finished. It's been feast or famine at work. One day 54 cases, the next 13. Makes for a mandatory day off, but this week I actually got 40 hours in, thanks to having a scheduled late day Friday. I had to work 10 hours but is made up for time that I had left early during the week.
Saturday was knit club and Dale and I went to play bingo after lunch, didn't win, but that's not unusual. Leroy and I went to Famous Dave's for dinner, thanks Roger for turning us onto that with you construction contracts. Then we went to the casino, and again I didn't win, but Leroy got his money back. I may have to borrow from him this week, HEHE.
Sunday we'll just stay home and eat left over Famous Dave's and I'll knit. Knitting things for the girls at home. They are turning out very beautiful, guess practice pays off.
On the way home last night there was lightening all over the valley. We even heard some thunder and that's the first time in almost 2 years out here that has happened. Very pretty at night to see the mountains back lit with lightening. It may be for only short bursts, but knowing where to look makes the difference. Kiki is paranoid with storms, so we wanted to get home to make sure she was ok, and of course, there she was on the patio, looking toward the mountains waiting for the next flash. I don't think it rained, if it did it wasn't much cause everything was dry this morning but it smells like a rain storm washed through. Have to be very careful when it rains in the mountains, no place for the water to go but downhill, and guess where we live. Yep, downhill. Flash floods can be a killer. Fortunately, we are not in a "usual" flash flood area and it would have to rain a ton to affect us. The property is landscaped and designed to drain away from the house so there should not be any problems.
Thanks, Mandy for becoming a follower. Love you.
I promise to get some pictures posted, I'm just not sure what you would be interested in seeing. I'll figure it out soon.
