Rainy day

Yesterday we did some running around and then we watched the boys so Josh and Autumn could have some time to themselves. We took the boys for a walk down by the water and of course Jackson immediately started looking for another set of bones. Did we mention that we have found an animal skull of some sort the other day that Jackson took into his school to find out what it was. Well, his teacher thinks the first one we found was from a sting ray. That was soo cool. Well, yesterday he found a huge one. So we brought that back and put it in a baggie so he could take it to school on Monday to see what animal that it was from. Jay kept wanting to follow Jackson but I wouldn't let him. The wind was blowing (See Barb, the wind blows in Floriday too) and I didn't have a change of clothes for him if he fell in the water. Anyway we stayed up late and slept in till 9:30. That is almost unheard of for us. But today was a gloomy day and the rain hadn't yet started when we decided to go to the mall. I needed new shoes and then on to AC Moore for more books on knitting. Well, we decided to take the umbrella into the mall with us and it was a good thing. After eating lunch at the food court we went to leave and it was pouring. Not just raining hard, but pouring! Rick, being the gentleman that he is, went out to the truck and came up to the door for me. I still got soaked, but not nearly as much had I walked out to the truck. We came back to the camper and the rain had let up a bit. Then Josh called to let us know that the dinner at Autumns moms was postponed until Sunday due to the weather. We were supposed to cook out and the guys were going to go fishing. Autumns mom lives on the bay and has a beautiful view from her back yard. I will definitely take pictures tomorrow. So Rick worked on trying to repair an old 35 mm camera and I did some knitting. Then we got a call from Darrell and Barbara. It was so good to talk to them. They are doing good and not working real hard. Yet! We hope to see them sometime soon. We really miss them. Then Rick's mom called and our daughter Rachel called. We will be going over to Josh's tomorrow before the cookout. Josh wants help working on his lawnmower. During the aftertoon the loudspeaker from the base kept saying "Lightning Warning" So we stayed indoors. But we did not have any bad weather like a lot of people. Thank goodness Jack and Cathy are ok. They were way to close for comfort to the tornado that hit Liberty MO. Snookie was the 500th person to view my blog. Rick told me to tell here that there was no prize for that tho. Way to go Snookie!!
