On August 4th we had a family farewell party for my sister Linda from France. My sister Carol is here from CT so she was able to see Linda before she left.
In the evening, Gary, Linda and I had just finished our supper when a hugh bolt of lightning hit a transformer. Yes, the lights went out in Rockton...at least on our block! I was worried about the food in the freezer more than anything else...we had just restocked it. When Ann-Marie arrived and after having her supper by candlelight we played Yahtzee by candlelight.
In the middle of the game, a loud voice came from the garage...."There's a beautiful rainbow in the sky! Get your camera and take a picture of it." yelled Gary.
Sure enough...it was so beautiful. and then Gary pointed out something else...
there was a double rainbow!! Look closely and you will see it.
So Linda's last night with us was a night to remember. The lights did come back on around 8:30 that night. The next day we got her off okay. She phoned the next day to let us know that she had arrived home safely. For Linda I know the time went by fast and it all started with an invitation to Louise's surprise birthday party. And indeed she surprised everyone there!

Yahtzee was so much fun by candlelight! "Is that a six? I think that's a six!"
Guess we'll never know!
