We got only .2 inches of rain last night, so the basement was DRY when we got up this morning. That's the good news. The rest of the good news is that we can move even if it is like 90 year olds in pain. That was a tough day and I'm so grateful that we got a break today. We went to the Kozy Diner for breakfast and then drove around and looked at the damages from the flash flooding in town. The bad news is that it was devastating for some; so our water in the basement was a small thing. We aren't out of the woods, yet, as there are lots of chances for rain in the forcast. We had intended to go to a baseball tournament in Wichita Falls, but we are afraid to leave the basement with the ground so wet, plus we aren't moving very well. It's a good time to stay home and rest if possible.
We drove to Altus and viewed the full Lake Lugert, and then went to lunch at the Western Sizzlin. Lake Lugert has been so near empty for the last several years; it is beautiful to see it full and water going over the dam. We ate lunch late, so that'll be as close as we get to supper. On the way home we stopped to see our friends Jo Ann and Frank; Jo Ann had her knee replaced nearly 2 weeks ago and she's doing great, so that was a good visit.
I have a load of clothes in the washer and will go to bed as soon as they are done. I'm bushed. Rest is good and I'm ready for some.
Today's pictures on the blog are of Sadie and Garrett and Gabe when they were here with us last week. The first one is Sadie wearing Poppy's hat. The second one is Sadie and Gabe sitting on the 'heart rock' with Poppy and Garrett leaning against it. The last one is Sadie and Garrett looking on as Gabe proudly displays the desert toad that he caught at the reserve. Treasured memories for us!
God is great and I thank Him and give Him praise!
