I don't like high winds or thunder and I really hate lightening DH
loves the thunder and lightening. When the winds pick up here we
usually get damage and at the very least more work.

Dee, many many congrat on being cancer free! May your life be long and
filled with all kinds of good foods We lost DDIL's sister to breast
cancer this past Feb. She was 31 and left two adorable toddlers plus a
DH behind. DDIL is not very anxious to have kids anymore and is
constantly worried about cancer.
