A great big thunderstorm blew in all day long with lots_
of rain.
It was spectacular. I haven't seen rain like this since
I lived on the NW peninsula in Washington state,
and that was roughly 26 years ago.

I saw a potential frost warning for the next two nights
here. A frost earlier in the week put the banana trees to
sleep until spring.
I'd no idea that this would cause the smell of bananas
to permeate the air as it did.

Ditto.
And, I am a now a huge fan of deep fried Cajun turkey!
Fun geographical differences for me yesterday:
I was the only one who brought dressing. I put oysters
and mushrooms in it.
While everyone knew what dressing was, they normally
don't serve it and approached it somewhat cautiously.
I had a lot left over to bring home. My husband and
I love it.

Someone was talking about how much they like bald
peanuts.
Now, I must have had a real stupified look on my face even more
so than usual, because someone finally took pity on me
and translated it to me. 
"He meant boiled peanuts".
Then there's:

Nephew: Do you want a coke?
Me: Yes, please
Nephew: What kind do you want?
Me: A coke, please.
Nephew: I know, but which KIND do you want?
Me: A coke.
Nephew: (stops at this point and looks at me funny
and gets a bit quiet.)
Niece: He wants to know which kind of soda you want.
Me: (Funny look on my face), Oh, okay. One of those
would be fine, (pointing to the Coca Cola).

And then there's "going to make groceries".


All in all, a very fun day.
