Julie, we don't get our grocerys packed in paper bags like you guys do
We have them in plastic bags, so it's okay.
And, thunderstorms I LOVE!!! I would much rather have a big thunderstorm than to have wind blowing 24/7, I really love thunderstorms they are great.
Shelia, yeah there are big huge puddles everywhere right now. It sucks because we live on top of a hill, so our driveway goes down on a slope, and there are a few pot holes, lol, so mum will be splashing in and out of them when she arrives
Thanks for the good luck, I'll need it!!! :P I won't take an umbrella because I'll probably end up flying somewhere like Mary Poppins did because of the wind :lol:
