A Blustery Day...

Yesterday after work, Jim called and he had been invited to go fishing on the river with a co-worker on his boat, and he invited me to go with them.

.

It sounded kind of fun, but after my boating adventure last year, I am leary about jumping on a boat with just anyone... and I am totally a safety girl now. No standing in the boat while it's moving, everyone has to have a life vest on, etc.

.

Jim assured me the guy was really safe and it would be a great fun time.

.

So he packed up the fishing gear and I grabbed the camera and some water and snacks, and antibacterial hand wash (fish are gross) and we were off.

.

I had been hearing of severe weather watches on the news all day, and lightning, and flood alerts, but really hadn't seen anything but a few clouds and sunshine.

.

About 10min. from our house... this storm came blowing in.

I have only seen a storm blow in THIS FAST one other time on the Oregon coast.

Obviously we turned around and headed back home, via the golf course where Jacob was out playing a round. Just to make sure the kid had the right mind to come in out of the rain and the lightning! (you never know with teenagers... and he hasn't gotten to play all week, so he might just take his chances for the opportunity to play... YES even with a club acting as a lightning rod in his hand... don't put anything past this kid and his golf game).

.

It was kind of funny when we swung by the golf course, there were men running to their cars from about every direction. Finally we see Jacob walking with his head down, so disappointed, but getting out of the rain and lightning.

.

We all made it home safe and watched the blustery day from inside.

All is well!
