finally some relief...

For the past few weeks we have had not one little drop of rain. The temps have been up in the high 80's to low 90's and it has been humid and very dusty. Saturday night I was sitting out on the front porch, which is a ritual for me before I go to bed each night, and all of the sudden it started sprinkling rain. Upon hearing the first few spatters, I got up out of my chair and walked over to the edge of the porch, stuck my hand out and sure enough it was sprinkling. About five minutes later I started hearing this roaring noise to my right that was getting closer by the second, not long after that I couldn't hear myself think over the heavy rain. I was so glad to see that rain! When I awoke yesterday morning the rain had stopped but you could tell that storms were on the way by looking at the dark gray sky.

Yesterday was Homecoming at our church and lucky for everyone there, the storms held off until after the service and most had finished eating. Once it started storming I didn't think it would ever quit! We were preparing to leave for home , all of us were standing in the vestibule waiting on the rain to lighten up a bit but it just kept getting harder and harder. At one point you couldn't see the parking lot across the street and it is only about twenty or thirty yards away. I finally grabbed a big garbage bag (since I forgot my umbrella at home that morning), covered my head and made a run for it, needless to say the lower half of me was dripping wet by the time I got to my van, but it was fun !

Vacation Bible School starts tonight at our church so after we finished eating several of us went back into the church to decorate. This year we are doing the Wild West Witness theme and it is going to be so much fun. All of the kids are so excited, so are the adults. We have backdrops that look like a western town setting in the 1800's. All three of my children will be participating in various skits this week. They have worked so hard on memorizing their lines for the past few months. Mr. B will be teaching the teens class and I will be doing the opening ceremony each night plus I am the music director this year. The week will be a busy one for me but I am looking forward to the fun.

Well I better sign off and get going, I have a lot to do today plus I have an appointment at my hair salon in a bit. Y'all have a good day, be safe, and take care !
