Pie Success and Stormy Nights!

So the pie I made on Saturday night and was up until the wee hours of Sunday morning waiting for it to cool was a bust. It looked even worse hours later when I checked on it before deciding if I needed to make a second pie. I will not be defeated by a lemon meringue pie so I will attempt to bake another one soon! LOL! Instead of trying another lemon meringue pie on Sunday morning I decided to try a lemon pie that called for some whipped topping decorations versus the complicated meringue. Pie #2 was a success, I'm happy to report. It was fun to make too!

The last 2 nights in Big D have been stormy ones! About 3 am on Tuesday I was awakened first by the noisy storm and second by 2 pugs that had broken through the gate that keep them in the hallway. They had made their way across the apartment and were sitting outside my bedroom door. After that huge storm back in late May the boys were not about to sit in the hallway far away from mommie during the latest noisy storm. Last night's storm began earlier in the evening than the previous night. My boyfriend and I were playing some wii when the storm started up. Cody began to get a little disgruntled about the activity outside we reassured him everything was alright. As I was up for my turn playing wii basketball a huge thunderous noise erupted. Well mommie wasn't available to jump on so without hesitation little Cody landed himself on the couch next to my boyfriend. When I turned to look at Cody he had already begun getting nestled under my boyfriend's arm. Cute!

When I went out to my car today I couldn't believe how clean it looked. The rain did wonders for my car. It looks freshly washed well that is until you get inside!
