Mitzi was sleeping on the couch (until I approached with the camera, of course) and Cricket got up behind her and laid down. They normally don't share their space this closely.
August 19, we had a nice storm, great storm! the night before. The downside is that what I thought I heard hitting the house were branches from the big maple on the NW corner. The tree seems basically OK. All over Topeka there were trees down, power outages, etc. And we got to enjoy some of that, too. Our power was out for 36 hours which seemed very long, especially at night. No electric lighting to see by, no air conditioning to sleep by.
The second day after the big storm, when we were still without power, we had the Parks Family Reunion here in Topeka, August 20th. Thankfully it was not at our house, and the shelterhouses at Lake Shawnee still had power. It was great. I am related to most all of these folks, and more. Whew.
More in the next post, still catching up.
