I know from experience that long threads are really hard to download on dial up. I don't know if anyone on here is still on dial up but just in case - - - -.

We had what we term a tonado 'backlash' this morning. We got about 1 1/2" more rain from it. Terrible winds and torrential rains. The old elm tree lost another wrist size limb & 4 or so smaller ones are hanging by bark only. Kyle trimmed that tree as high as he felt safe going last summer. I do wish it was off to just a large trunk. That would leave the huge limb with the tire swing still in place. Our children grew up playing on that swing as have some of the grandchildren so we don't want to lose it. Once it passed it drizzled for an hour or 2 then the sun came out and it has been lovely.

We haven't run the big window AC for nearly 4 days now and it is still so nice in the house. The smaller kitchen one and the one in Sheila's room can't be doing that much as they don't even feel like they are putting very cool air right in front of them. I have one LR & one of my BR windows open with fans in front of them for fresh air.

I need to get moving and fold clothes then get lunch for tomorrow ready. GOD bless & keep each of you.
