The sun was shining a minute ago, but all of a sudden it is dark and looks like rain. The birds seem to be frantically eating....wonder if they are trying to tell me something? It is all coming from the Northwest and the sky to the South is light so when looking across the lake in that direction, you see the band of trees, then a band of light sky, and then the dark clouds. I checked the weather map, and it looks like we could get a brief shower, but they aren't even predicting precipitation this morning....hmmmmm....sometimes I wonder about the weather man. Cloudy and humidity 92% but no rain predicted? I say rain!!
Yesterday I started my day by going to the Farmers Market to get this great sourdough bread from a bakery that is actually located in Elk River, got to talking to the baker (at least I think he is the baker) and found out he grew up not far from us in Blaine and went to Junior High school with Jimbo. He also knew who Annie was....funny he's the one who said "So you're Annie Kiecker's mom"....I'm still trying to figure out what that meant...but I got the impression it was a good thing. On my way back to the cabin I took a slight detour and drove down the road that you drive to get to Uncle Rays....along Clearwater lake where the river flows in. There must be a dozen cabins or trailers sitting in water (the lake). It was very sad. I see they brought in dirt to build up Bonnie and Bob's road, so that isn't underwater. Luckily their cabin is built up on a hill (a small hill....not like mine).
I worked on my scrapbook pages, and am finally caught up. Now I just have to get those extra pages for the scrapbook and I'll be all set to add the landscaping when that gets done....I did take pictures so I can show the before and after versions of the yard.
All of a sudden I got a knock on the door and there was Joe, Sandi, Lynn, Bob and Sarah.....Surprise!!! They toured the cabin and boathouse, and we sat down by the lake and visited while Sarah took advantage of the warm afternoon and went swimming. She even spent some time feeding the fish, and complaining when they were trying to eat her toes. But she had a great time playing in the water...I'm sure she slept well last night. Was so nice that they came, I guess they were headed back to St. Michael and then on to Anoka for dinner and a Classic Car Show. Can't wait to see them again in October when we celebrate Joe's 70th birthday in Athens, GA.
It hasn't started raining yet, and I better get dressed, or I'll miss church. I really don't like this 8:30 Mass stuff....9:00 seemed so much later.
I'm heading home this afternoon, and then to Ann Sidoti Christensen's home for a party. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Love and prayers, m
