....and then the rains came! There we were, enjoying 80 degree days and nites in the mid-60s. Now we have days in the low 60s and drizzle. I know...ya'll are having a hard time working up any sympathy.... But hey, we were sitting on 'lake front property' on Friday morning! Had to wade, ankle-deep, to get across the street to drink coffee with the neighbor! And the guys showed up for work and opted to stay and fill potholes in the rain (it was all 'overtime' pay!) So, I'm told that in Illinois, the Wabash is supposed to crest at 28', which we haven't seen since 1985...jon boats in the streets, and we're down here missing it! Of course, being out in a boat ain't so much fun with temps in the single digits.... What a messy winter this has become for most of the Country!
Yesterday, we loaded up and went to a pow wow. That's always fun! Watched the grass dancers, the jingle dancers, the little bitty kids.... it's always fun! Ate Indian tacos (yum! Tacos on fry bread!), and shopped the booths filled with leather and feathers and beads and turtle shells and bows--and combinations thereof! :) Later, Shirley (who is 1/4 Cherokee) talked on the phone with the head man of her tribe and got a date for her "Naming Ceremony"! She's 69--it's TIME! So, we'll all be heading up to GA in mid-March for that. She's as excited as a kid!
Big Gun Show in Lakeland today, but I'm really sure *I* am not going! Hubby may, or may not, crawl out of bed for that...the weather is uninspiring enough to keep him under the covers most of the morning! LOL! This afternoon, he's under orders to buy and install a new master cylinder in the old wagon. A car that won't stay stopped, with an hour and a half commute through city traffic, is NOT GOOD!
Me? Oh, I think I'll curl up under the down throw and make a doily......
