Tornado Warning...

We don't get them often, 

but we had a severe thunder storm warning, and tornado warnings

out for Regina today...

We didn't get any tornados that I am aware of,

but we sure did get the thunder storms...

and more rain then I have seen in 8 years of living here...

The thunder was so loud that I was a bundle of nerves

all afternoon...and I normally LOVE thunder storms..
What I couldn't understand was how my
one and three year old managed to sleep through it!

We had so much rain, that as you can see...

our road flooded...

I walked out in my shorts into the lake after the rain slowed down,

and it was almost up to my knees...

One of my neighbors almost didn't make his drive way 

in his truck...

Later this evening, hubby and I went to Costco..
and wouldn't you know it?
When we came out..it had started again..
We were soaked withing three seconds flat...

A date night...Oh me oh my!

Once again...the weekend passed by in a rush...

It seems that we spend all week working and working

in eager anticipation .... and it's all gone in a heartbeat...

In our case ... hubby had to work all day Sat...

so that meant that I did the usual at home..

Watched Sat. morning cartoons with my babes..

cleaned house, and then did some photo work...

My husbands aunt and uncle were in town, 

and dropped off a swing set...which we have to find time to set up,

and our cousin dropped by and introduced his van, and his girlfriend...

Finally Kendal came home...and it was a well deserved DATE NIGHT!

WHO HOO!

We went to the Crushed Grape in our favorite area of Regina..

Cathedral.

We were really excited about this...It is a wine and food bar,

and they have live music.. (although they didn't this night..)

(We will be going back for this...I love Blues..)

I had won a 25 dollar gift certificate 

for some volunteer work I did over the Cathedral Arts Festival..

so that was also a great inducement to want to go...

I loved the atmosphere...Staff was great, friendly and knew their stuff...

I could tell the owner in a heartbeat...and he knew how to treat his customers..

It was busy, without that overcrowded .. sit on top of you feeling...

Hate that.

They had a huge selection of wines...which we didn't try...

We don't really drink, but it looked impressive..LOL!

Unfortunately, can't say I was really impressed with the food...

The portions were averaged priced..but very small..

and I didn't really enjoy it that much...

all the same..we will go back...

have dessert and listen to some live music...

which is really my thing anyways...

Afterwards, we walked around Cathedral...

and did our other thing... 

People watching...

Creepy hey?  LOL!

The night wouldn't POSSIBLY have been complete

if I hadn't whipped out my camera...LOL!

and so I went out and checked out 

another location I have been meaning to look at lately...

the Skateboard park...

and this young man...

who shares the same name as my son...

was kind enough to let a strange lady with a camera...

snap some pics...

What did you do for your last date night??
