It's raining, it's pouring.....
| The storms kicked back into high gear this evening. It's lasting a heck of a lot longer tonight though. Within the first hour, the news indicated that we had already received 1" of rain and were anticipating a total of about 2.5" by the end of the night. We all really love the stormy weather though, so we are thoroughly enjoying the night. Not much else to report today though. I started working on a new project this afternoon. I will be hosting a golf tournament for the local chapter of CWA in September. My mom happens to be the president of the 6200, so I guess I was the most likely "candidate" anyway. Tehehehe. It will be fun though. I have missed doing the golf tournaments a lot. So, any of you golfers out there, keep your eyes and ears open and come join us! The monies raised will go to their community service funds, which is used for local community assistance where needed. It's helping out a great cause while having a load of fun! Besides it would give you a chance to come out and visit all of us!!!! Poor Jeff is out in the shop tonight working his tail off on a plane that he is beginning to feel like will never get completed! It just seems to keep dragging on and on. It doesn't help that when he orders parts, they aren't in stock....forcing him to drag the process out even further. Still no sign of the paint. Hopefully that will be here in the next day or two. I think that will make him feel tons better. On a more positive note though, he finally ordered the batteries and last bit of stuff he needed for it! YAY!!!! Oh yes, by the way............Happy Birthday Alexis! We love you so very much! And on that note, I'm off to watch a movie....which really means go to sleep on the couch until Jeff comes in from the shop. Hehehe |
BTW
| Did anyone notice how much better I am doing with updating this thing? Tehehehe.....so I'm patting my own back a little! *grins* |
Progress?
It's hard to really tell if it is progress or not from the stench rising from the pool in our backyard. The pool was as drained as it was going to get when I awoke this morning. Shortly after, the guys from Star Line Pools were here to take the measurements. So, something is being done. We are certainly moving in the right direction, but I don't think our neighbors are liking us much right now! Holy schmokes the horrid smell emitting from the lowest depths of that hole in the ground! Kolby hit the nail on the head when he said, "mom, that is REALLY disgusting!"   Of course, I'm also curious to see just how much MORE water will have to be drained out of the pool after our storms tonight. We had some pretty severe weather come rolling through our neck of the woods tonight. It was beautiful, don't get me wrong. Jeff and I sat on the sun porch watching it almost from beginning to end, but how ironic that it finally rains the day that the pool is drained right?   The water that you see in the second picture is not where my camera got wet, it's actually the flash catching the rain drops. I thought that was super cool, but then I tend to be rather easily amused as well. |
