A Different Kind of Fireworks......!

Last night, I had dinner with some friends at Fager's Island. If you know Fager's, you know they play the 1812 Overture as the sun sets....well....there was no sun to be seen....all overcast and cloudy, but the 1812 was played with great fervor anyway. Gotta love those cannons! THEN....we were able to see most of a fireworks display a little ways down which was fun, BUT then the real show started....God unleashed a fireworks of his own with grand thunder and huge lightening. In Fagers, there are a lot of windows....the side room is almost like a sunroom with windows on the top and the side, and we were right next to that....Well, the lightening flashed and the thunder boomed and the rain pounded. I LOVED IT. An unexpected treat...combined with good friends and just about laughing myself sick at the silliness, it was a wonderful evening. KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mae!!! I just "found" you through another blog...perhaps it was Lynne's (formerly Prettyman)? Anyway, who cares, it was just so great to see that you're in cyberspace, so to speak, and to read some of your blog. BTW, congratulations on being a grandma-to-be!! How fantastic!

Hope to catch up with you more often on here!

Miss you!

I've never been to Fager's Island. Sounds like you had a great time though!
