A couple of weeks ago I decided to take a trip to the park with my daughter, Zoe. We gathered our normal supplies, plus five ice cold bottled waters, 95 SPF sunblock, sun hats, umbrellas, swimsuits (just in case) and a change of clothes. After a 10 minute thrill ride on a baby swing and five slides down the bumpy slide, we were running back to the car for air conditioning. While cooling off in the car, dark clouds began to roll in as I heard the distant echo of thunder. By the time we arrived home, raindrops were making their debut and within fifteeen minutes golf ball sized hail was coming down. I watched helplessly as my poor car was pelted, wincing with every blow and dent suffered. It was then I realized that only in Texas can you be hospitalized from a heat stroke during a hail storm.

Since then, we've had many more severe storms. We just had four in a row (one each night) with
high winds and hail. With the "perfect storm" happening every other day, I can take my pick from pea sized to baseball sized hail, depending on how big of an insurance claim I want to make that week. My car is so beat up, my dad affectionately refers to it as "The Dent." I had been trying to come up with a name to suit it, but that really wasn't what I was going for.

My dad on the other hand likes the inclemate weather as it keeps business up. He's in the auto body repair business. One of my friends recently met my dad and said, "he really likes to make an impression." Ba da bing.

Many people make small talk by talking about the weather, but here it is really something to talk
about. And speaking of, I have to cut this short, because another storm is rolling in and I have to submit this newsletter before it hits.

May fair weather find you wherever you are.

Don't give up Sherri! You have to practice to get good. It makes me want to give it a try. Except I
have two left feet and no body rhythm. So I'll leave the dancing up to you!


I have a friend who says he has three left feet. I'm a little worried about him.

Good piece but too exhaustive and too many words. Comedy is either funny or not. Noone needs to
go ummm to many times, either I laugh or I leave.

Ummmm....what? Good thing there's no place to rate an editorial. *Pthb*

Hey Twinkle Toes,

Thanks for sharing your dancing story. Isn't it horrid to be a beginner in anything? But as you have
shown, amusing for others. Got to look on the funny side...

Best to you,
Tehanu


Yes, but now I'm in my second month and other brand newbies are coming in. I can tell
I have improved somewhat so that is encouraging!
