Rain, Rain, Go Away!

A few months ago, you couldn't have convinced me that I would ever say that!  We've had around 15 inches of rain here, and much, much more in many other places in Texas. But all of that is about to change-they're forecasting a week of sunshine for us! Bring it on!

Long time, no blog

Sorry I haven't written anything in a while..I've sort of lost my blogging mojo. Not that things have been particularly quiet. We've had a tremendous amount of rain and flooding in the last two weeks. Lakes that have been mostly dry for several years are now full, which is a great thing! Hopefully we're heading away from the drought for good. ('Til the next one!)

We've had a wonderful visit with our two youngest grandsons. (And their parents, but lets face it, we all know who the main attractions are in grandparent world!) They're getting ready to move and will be a couple of hours closer to us!

Tomorrow, we'll spend part of the day at our granddaughters' school. They are having to make up bad weather days from this winter, so they have to go to school on Memorial Day. They are having a special patriotic assembly and a picnic.

So life is plugging away and I'll try to be a better blogger!

Happy Mother's Day!

Stormy Weather

We spend last night with cell phones and flashlights in hand due to some severe thunderstorms. We had high winds and buckets of rain here, but these pictures were taken to the north of us.

We are under the gun for bad storms through the weekend with possibly up to 5 inches of rain. Hoping to avoid the large hail and tornadoes!
