chanda and i rode up with my friend janet and her family for our homeschooling group's "not back to school" picnic. we all knew a thunderstorm was predicted for the afternoon, but we all thought it would happen at the end of the day . . 3 pm or so. at 1:00 i watched the clouds gather in the west while sitting on the blanket with chanda. it became dark enough that we decided we didn't want to wait to be caught in the storm. everyone around us was still busy talking or playing a game. we left for the cafe on the corner . .
it's the best place. the owner served us turkish tea and homemade baklava. it was delicious. take note of the lovely glass tea cups and saucers!
soon the skies opened up and everyone started to trickle in . . dripping from the deluge that finally came down.
by the time the storm ended, most everyone had gone home . .
but a few were still left to run around . .
it was a nice time to catch up with old friends . . and we even found a pair of ice skates for chanda . .
Great name for a picnic!
