Here Comes The Sun . . . Not

Yesterday, we made it through an entire day without any rain.  The sun was out all day and it was in the 70's.  We had a bit of rain overnight, and today, the high is in the low 50's, with temps of the low 30's expected for the next two nights.  

Needless to say, this weather is not good for Farmtown 2016.  

Happy Friday the 13th

TWIT would like to wish everyone a very happy Friday the 13th.  So far, nothing bad or unlucky has happened to me.  In fact, it's been a great day.  For the first day in about a week and a half, it hasn't rained, and we can see the sun!! That counts for a very awesome day.   And I got a new pair of cool New Balance tennis shoes to wear as we start our Step Challenge at work.  The details haven't been given yet, but I am on a team with 6 other coworkers from the office and factory.  So all in all, it's been a pretty good day.

Another Storm Update

About an hour and a half after I posted last night's blog entry, the storm hit and the power went out again here at The Compound.  It was out from 9:00 till about 2:00.  I don't even need to tell you that I am over the storms.  And I am over not being able to access out generator.  

The Old Man remedied that sitch today.  He and my Sweet Mother went out and moved things around so we can get into the garage via the small door now and have quick access to the generator.  There are more storms in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow.  But I sure as hell hope we don't need the generator.  I need a good night's sleep, as I know the Old Man does.

Storm Update

I talked to Dad's cousin late last night, and they made it through the second round of tornadoes and storms.  We all had been praying hot and heavy for safety for them, and thanks to the Lord for answered prayers. 

So far, I haven't received any storm damage reports from friends and family in the areas where tornadoes hit yesterday.  Thank you, Lord, for keeping them all safe. 

We've got more storms in the forecast for tonight, tomorrow and again on Friday.  We're tired of this monsoon.  We need some dry time so the beans and tomatoes can grow instead of float. 

It Was A Dark and Stormy Night

As I type this, TWIT is sending out prayers and well wishes for our Country Cousins down in Breckinridge County who have had tornadoes, hail bigger than golf balls, and tons of rain this afternoon.  And when I last spoke with dad's cousin a half hour ago, they had made it through the earlier storms ok, but were getting ready to get slammed again.  

Prayers to everyone in the path of this storm. 

Something You Don't Hear Every Day

While I was waiting for Monday Night Trivia to start, I overheard a conversation from the table behind us.  They are the infamous Team Gurus.   And I quote:

"Well, I did have four or five beers before you all got here."  

Nuff said. 

Happy Mothers Day

I know the day is almost over, but I would like to wish a very Happy Mothers Day to of the mothers in my life - especially to my Sweet Mother.  

Through an unfortunate turn of events today, this day turned out to be the second worst Mothers Day that I had.  But just a few minutes ago when my Sweet Mother told me what a great day she had, I forgot all about the things that made this such a bad day.  Thanks, Mom.
