And It Rained.....



And rained, and rained.  The weather guys got it mostly right this time.  It started last Thursday, very lightly with not much change up through late Friday evening.  Saturday the deluge began as promised.  Fortunately there was no wind, but the rain was almost continuous.  Kim even cancelled her trip to the second resort since it is so far and hard to get to in normal time.  The flooding everywhere makes it not smart to be out in that for just a few dollars.   We eventually got 8.2 inches on Saturday.  That is on top of 1.15 inches since Thursday.  A bit soggy and Sunday we saw a little bit more but it was manageable. 

I spent Saturday watching college football.  My son has season tickets to see the Longhorns and decided he would woos out and not sit and watch them in the rain.  He offered the tix to me LOL, thanks but no thanks.  What a guy.  Fair weather fan.  They won despite the bad weather and facing a team they are 1-6 against over the last few years.  It was a grind it out game and not pretty at all.  Hey, I told you they had a turning point against the land thieves north of the Red River.

Kim met my parents over at the facility they are moving to Friday.  This was the first chance they had to actually look inside the apartment they would be moving in to.  They had to make extensive repairs due to the previous occupant having a scooter that damaged walls and carpet.  No, Mom didn't change her mind but realized the place is much smaller than she imagined and has too much stuff to fit it all in and will need to reconsider some of the things she had planned to take.  They were supposed to sign a contract but due to the lack of communication skills the representative had they took the contract home with them to review it before signing.  Still not sure when the actual move in date is, it changes from week to week.  Mom is a bit overwhelmed as she thinks all of this has been moving so fast.  Really?  It seems like it has been going on forever to me lol.

Happy Trails

Well, at least 'some' progress is being made... And smart move on staying home. Flooding can catch one unaware...
