Hard rain is predicted.


Tonight's picture is Sadie and Raynie at the creek in Gatlinburg. Raynie loves to escape and Sadie is a great one to catch her! Sadie is such a wonderful big sister.

We are still on standby for water in the basement. So far, so good, but the shop vac and the sump pump are out ready to go to work the minute the water starts to seep, again. The weathermen are predicting hard rain for the next 3 days, so we're afraid to leave because it can make a big mess, fast, when heavy rain starts and we're at the level of saturation that we are. We had intended to go to Bruce's last baseball tournament of the summer, but we figure they may get rained out and we may get rained IN, so we'd better stay home. This is so weird to have this kind of rain in July. However, 3 years ago we had tons of rain in June AND July, thus Raynie's name! She was born on July 10th after it had stormed and rained all night the previous day and night. Trish and Rob were so surprised to have a girl; they fully expected a boy and had a name chosen for a boy. They had some ideas for a girl's name, but when she was born, Robert said, "Let's name her Summer Rayne." Who could resist that, and she remains irresistible! We sure thank God for her and all her brothers and sisters and cousins! They are all sunshine to us.
