Got this via email and decided to put it here. I'm not sure I have 4 readers, but if so, I'm tagging you to post this on your blogs!

Random shots of the last week...

OK, I don't know who the growling girl is on the left (LOL), but found this pic on the camera after DD#2 borrowed it. This is #2 and her friends before a football game. Yes, the bright red lipstick is mandatory.

Hubby blowing out candles on his favorite - Texas Sheet Cake* - on his birthday 9/11 (yes, 9/11). Decided 3 candles would suffice. Our smoke detector is very sensitive. (*Recipe will be posted this week.)

Hubby & DD#3 before a local race. #3 placed 2nd in her age group!

It's a trend

After our 'rain' over the weekend that broke our 114 day drought, we woke up to even MORE rain this morning. Well, no need for an umbrella, but there is lightning and thunder and even some raindrops. It's almost 8am and 90 degrees with 41% humidity. Weird.

Hubby heads to Tahlequah today with DD#3 & DD#4 for the Cherokee National Holiday and to see family. Looks like their weather is actually going to be better than OURS. Now that's something new - OK with better weather than CA! LOL I'm sending the camera and hoping they have the good sense to TAKE PICTURES. There will be a pow wow, a race (Hubby & DD#3), and a time to connect with Hubby's parents, brother & family, his last remaining grandfather, aunts/uncles/cousins, etc.

Guess I'll just spend my weekend shopping and eating out with DD#1 & DD#2. Drats. Sure wish I could go. LOL

Drip drip drop

When my husband woke me up around 1:30 this morning to tell me it was raining, my first thought (hey - I was sleeping) was the song from Bambi, "Drip drip drop little April shower..." (Don't ask. I have GOT to stop eating venison. Just kidding. I had chicken for dinner.) Anyway, yes, I said RAIN - that wet, drippy stuff from the sky! Granted it only lasted about a minute, according to hubby who must have stayed awake listening, but still, that was the first rain we've had since April. It's disheartening to see the news where so much of the East and South is being flooded out and California is brown and crispy.

Still...we got rain. Let's rejoice and thank God for every drop!

A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22
