We were unpacking at home, and had ABC's broadcast of Harry Potter on.
All of sudden, we lose the satellite signal. The house went silent. Then we hear this *PING* on a window. And it's loud. Then, another *PING*. Pretty soon, all hell is breaking lose as marble-sized hail is pelting the house with really high winds.
Yes, I know this is spring and the weather is just all over the place in extremes, but this was the first time that I really thought we were going to lose a window due to hail strike.
Here's a quick 30-second video out the patio door of the hail hitting the grass outside.
Well, we went to church this morning in this wonderful small church in Sawyer. Great sermon from a priest that was visiting - my guess is that he teaches medical ethics at Notre Dame.
When to the butcher and bought tons of meat (that Carol vacusealed immediately). We just sort of hung around the house, took naps, and basically just got ourselves ready for the long drivve home. The Sunday traffic wasn't too bad, but it still took us about 3 hours.
I just love being up there...
