Family Home Evening

Yesterday afternoon Bob and I met my sister, Joan and her two granddaughters Lisa and Amy Bezzant in Taber.  Then we left to go to Brooks.  I feel lucky to be here.  We were driving down highway 36 and there was a pickup in front of us.  In front of the pickup was a tractor (or some vehicle) pulling a baler.  We came to a straight stretch where we could pass and Joan moved out to pass and we got even with the truck when suddenly the vehicle pulling the baler made a u turn without signalling.  Joan braked but couldn't stop in time, and luckily the truck slowed down and gave Joan a tiny bit of room to get between the truck and the baler and we got by on the shoulder.  I didn't even have time to panic. I just looked at the baler and thought, "This is it." 

We got to Brooks and visited my aunt, Elsie, and then we went to Donald and Diane's for a barbecue and pool party.

We left Taber sometime after 10 p.m. and all the way to Lethbridge we were treated to a lightning display - both sheet lightning and streak lightning.  When we got home the thunder began and then the rain.  I tried to get a picture of the lightning, but my camera was too slow.  However, I got the results of the lightning as it lit up our back yard at 11:30 p.m.
