W'apow mu e, 

 

We had torrential rains this morning.  Joe said that parts of the road were under water on the way to school this morning.  It rained off and on throughout the day.

 

We had planned on going into town today.  With the heavy rain, we decided not to go.  Joe did some office work.  I practiced the keyboard and got some other things done.

 

Our power went off a couple times today due to the weather.  When it came back on the second time, one phase was off.  When one phase is off, the electric meter beeps constantly.  After a couple hours of listening to that beep, we were all about to go crazy!  The power went off for load shedding just before we left for church; at least the beeping stopped.  : )

We had another candlelight service since the power was off.  We had ten in attendance tonight.  The rain did cool it off a little.  It was about 75 degrees outside; that is jacket weather here.  It was definitely hotter inside than it was outside; I was sweating up a storm.

 

Danny had some bites that were itching.  He wanted to take his shirt off in the car on the way home.  I told him just to wait until we got home.  Bonnie said, “Danny, you can’t take your shirt off in the car because there isn’t a dirty clothes basket to put it in in the car.”  That was not my line of thinking.  : )

 

Nantsew yie!
