Yesterday was an interesting day here. It rained for most of the day and during the evening we were under a severe thunderstorm/tornado watch. Neither came to anything and I am hoping no one else experienced them either, that they just disappeared up into the sky. The last warning that did any damage around here was years ago when a tornado touched down two miles away, and shaved the front off a lot of homes, along with their roofs. Before then I didn't even know we had that kind of weather in our area. We know how devastating they can be from all the news reports.
Rain or no rain, we decided to go out and get lunch for a change. We know of a Vietnamese sandwich shop called Banh Mi DC Sandwich. It is about 35 minutes away, and we always order the same thing, a Meatball Banh Mi. Gregg discovered it years ago when he worked in Washington DC. It was about half-way home. We don't usually have breakfast on such days, and eat lunch early-ish. We arrived here before noon. There is no sit-down area inside, which is fine as we always have a car picnic in the parking lot. The sandwich is consistently excellent and in all the years we have been coming here, we have never been disappointed. It is in a shopping area and the parking lot is filled with cars, but we always get a space in front of the sandwich shop as people are aways coming and going.

I rarely post on the weekend, but this is a wonderful cause and I wanted to share it with you today.
