With the rain that we have had all day it has made our plans to go and watch the fireworks downtown a no go, I am sure glad that we went to the lake and watched the fireworks at Nashville Shores last night. They are calling for severe storms tonight so I think we will just stay in where it is dry and watch the fireworks on TV, maybe next year we can make it downtown to see the show live and in person.
Almost every house along our street has some damage from the wind and rain last night. It hit here about 5 pm and we did not get our power restored until about 9 last night. We have a couple of small limbs torn down but just a few houses down a whole tree came down barely missing the house. I am glad we did not have any drama like that and they are calling for more storms tonight, lets hope they are wrong. We have had a storm filled June and I for one will be very happy to get on into July and see if the weather will calm down a bit with summer getting here.
We have had so much rain this month they have opened the flood gates at Dale Hollow Lake and those have not been open for 25 years. The lake right by our house is letting out water at an alarming rate and the picnic tables are still flooded. Lets hope we get some warn sunny weather soon or we will be living in a swamp. It has been raining off and on today and we really do not need any more rain.
Hockey is really my favorite sport and I love going to the games when the Predators are here in town. They are on a west coast swing right now and will play the next six games away from Nashville. When they get back to town I plan to attend a few games in the month of November, I miss the friends we made in our old section and it would be real nice to see them again. We even have made friends with some of the ushers and when we see these people out on the town we have friends we never knew about it is kind of funny.
Halloween was a lot of fun at our house we decorated the yard and bought a bunch of candy to give out and we had about 30 kids show up at our house, and they were all little kids which is fine by me. I do not like the big kids that go out and take candy from the little kids this holiday is for the little kids and for the little kid in us adults we get to dress up and decorate the house and make it a fun time for the little kids. My dogs hate this day second only to the 4th of July. The fireworks drive my little dogs crazy every year.
