Thunder!

Yay! We're having a thunderstorm!! Do you know how long it's been since I've heard thunder? At least a year, maybe two years. Maybe even longer. Right at the moment we're enjoying a little thunder and lightning and a downpour of rain. We even had some hail earlier. Peter is very, very happy - he always talks about how much he misses thunderstorms. They do make it feel a little more like home.

Now I just miss lightning bugs... and real grass... ooooh - and Route 44 Cherry Limeades!! Why oh why is there no Sonic here?

I can just imagine Peter's joy over a thunderstorm!! Don't you just love the smell after the rain has past. It is wonderful.

Maybe when I come in July/August I can bring a lightning bug. Wonder if security would allow that. :) Love, Mom

Hey if you want I can put a bunch of Missouri bugs in the box I'm sending for your shower present. I'm thinking a few you're probably missing: wolf spider, brown recluse,lady bug, roli poli, cricket and of course fire flies.

Let me know ASAP!

Hmmm. Nope, pretty much just miss the lightnings bugs. Well, a roly-poly might be nice. :) I think I've seen crickets and lady bugs out here. Since spiders don't technically count as bugs I'd say we can leave them off the list. Plus, supposedly we have tarantulas, although I wouldn't ever expect to see one in the city. Then again, Missouri has tarantulas too, but I've never seen one there either. (Thank goodness.)
