Pfoderie: SPRING FURY

I believe we had one of the nicest spring time in St Louis since I have lived here, except a short 10 minutes two weeks ago. It was a furious hail storm, the worst I ever experienced. Hail the size of ping pong balls.

Checking out the damage

Our drive way after the storm

Just hours after I heard from Daniel and Eric the amount of damage the storm caused to there homes only about 3 miles from here. They experienced baseball size hail and it looks like the whole neighborhood needs new roofs.

This was an exciting few minutes for me and luckily we had no damage around here.

About the same week our old coffee machine stopped functioning and we had to splurge on a new one.The old one we had for over 10 years and the counter read 19864 coffee dispensed. Averaging about 6 cups a day for Donna and me.

Imported from Switzerland

Like I said before, beside that little spring fury we had nothing but dry warm weather, and everything is blooming way ahead of time and in return Donna and I enjoying life to the fullest, what you see in the next few pictures.

Relaxing after work

We grilled about every other night

We also had two functions at our grand kid's schools we love to attend. Jacob dazzled us with a elaborated concert and Luke participated in his school's talent show.
