Surprise! Happy Friday one and all
The weather is really doing a number on us all........everyone is in a major depression........we had 8 days in May w/o rain, and so far today is the second clear day we've had, with a storm moving in tonight and flood watches out for tomorrow. The river was really up when we went to check it Wednesday, but it's come down a good bit since then. Now it'll be back up again. We're just lucky it hasn't gotten out of its banks with all this.
Maggie,
I love the marble idea
At Christmas time I buy the tall straight cylindrical vases, fill them about halfway with clear flat or round "marbles", add some silk Christmas greenery, fill it with water, and float a white candle which just fits the diameter of the vase on the top. It's a great gift, inexpensive, and I love the way it looks. You obviously could use it year round by just changing what you put in there and even changing the color of the candle. All this stuff can be readily found in the Wally World Crafts dept. and/or Michael's. The best part is, people think you really went to trouble:~}
Jean,
Can't remember whether or not I told you, but Wed. went out to a friend's school and did the Field Day activities for her sixth graders. It was fun. She hates doing it, and after 50 years of camp activities, I can whip em up with little or no thought or preparation. They were all new games to the kids, so they had a ball too, and my friend was thrilled. This time of the year, it doesn't take much to do one in! The kids come Monday.......officially, and the teachers are there Tues., then it's over for the year. I don't know a soul who can close up the room in one day, so obviously the school board is relying on people working on their own time. I got so that I refused to do it. They put us in that position, so they can just live with it.
Faye,
Just for your enjoyment........went to the trail yesterday, walked maybe 200 yds, and by the time we got back to the car, my damned thigh highs were both down around my ankles
Tjoday I went to Krogers, and my right one was ankle bound by the time I got to the car
Between the hose and the rain, I've just about had it!
If it ever stops raining, we're planning to start our Aquarobics class again. We'd hoped to do it this week, but the air and the water were too cold. By the way, the Ohio's rockin and rollin, so what's the Mississippi doing? The Ohio was supposed to crest sometime this morning in Cincinnati.
I've been keeping an eye on the weather in Maine, and their temps aren't any colder than ours..........let's hope it stays that way.
I'm off to add another dose of "super glue" to my legs........such fun!
Love to all,
Bubs
