A storm I have always wanted to see.


This a picture of a storm in Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota. One of my favorite spots to go for vacation. I was looking through old pictures and found this. This was Memorial day weekend about 15 years ago. We were waiting for a special boat that was coming in. It was a mine sweeper. They had to send 2 tugs out to bring the ship in thru the canal. The waves were rolling up over the top of the cement walls of the canal. At times it looked like the boats would come right over the top of the wall. It was so cold. We would keep going back to the car to get warm. The aerial bridge in the canal and I are the same age. In fact we celebrated our 50th birthday together. The bridge had a bigger party than I did. Jeff bought me a stained glass hanging of the bridge that was designed especially for the bridge's 50th birthday. One of the steel owners' wife made the hanging. For me it was the perfect gift.
Hard to stamp right now and that is a shame as I have lots of new stamps..... Go figure. Lots to think about lately. The anniversary of my mom's death, the upcoming anniversary of my parents' marriage, and Mother's Day. My mojo is definitely visiting somebody else. If she is at your house, please send her home.

Thanks for dropping by my blog, Cindy. I'm sure your mojo will return and you'll have more ideas than ever!
That storm is something else! But I understand the attraction. When I lived in Oklahoma, I was never in a tornado, but many times was on the edge of one, the sky going green.
