When the Rain Comes


It RAINED today. It was a good day to stay inside and be lazy. We did some more catch up with the house (a never-ending task) but because of all the lightning using anything electrical was not a good idea. No washing machine, no vacuum, not even the treadmill for exercise. It rumbled and rained all day. Pensacola even had a tornado touch down. Before this storm we were 22 inches below our normal rainfall for this time of year. I guess the sprinkler system paid off after all. October is usually our driest month. Most of the festivals and fairs are held this time of year. Fortunately the rain should be gone for the weekend. We got 2-4 inches of rain today.


The Egmont Key pictures and postcards we had made arrived in the mail today. We spent a little time putting some in frames. We have to paint and decorate most of the frames before we put the pictures in them. That’s a job for later.

I’ve had no formal training for writing other than some for technical writing. (You know this since you’ve read my blogs.) When Christy suggested we write a novel I went on line and learned a little about writing. I definitely don’t have the proper training. Just thinking about it gives me more respect for writers. I’m seriously thinking about my plot and story lines. We will see if I’m ready In Nov.
