Re: Thunder

Last rain here was Tuesday- heard we got some at
home...I am hoping it stays dry here thru Sunday!

Did run into Cathy for a few minutes here and there...
planning on doing breakfast in the morning. I am sure
she will have some stories to tell you all about John,
as he was her bus tour host today :)For those who have
never meet her, she is absolutely charming!
