It's raining, again!
Sawyer fell in the lake.
Lidia just about laughed her head off at him.
He had to strip his clothes off in the garage.
Later, he stepped in an ant bed and had to strip his clothes off again...this time in the kitchen.
We had potato soup for dinner.
I nearly cut off my finger slicing the potatoes for the potato soup.
Whitney likes to give me a heart attack...she thinks she wants to become a pilot and work for Swiss Air.
Excuse me while I go take an aspirin and nitroglycerin pill.

On a serious note.....IT IS RAINING, again!
I don't know how much more my hometown of Andrews can take.
There is so much devastation.
Please continue to remember them in your prayers.
Even in the wake of such devastation, it is very heartwarming to see how people of our town, state and neighboring states have come to help, however they can.
Helicopters flying nurses with medical supplies into areas inaccessible by car.
Donations of clothing, food, toiletry items, baby diapers, bottled water and all sorts of necessary items are being collected and distributed all over South Carolina.
Neighbor helping neighbor!
Did you hear what LSU did for the Carolina Gamecocks?
LSU was supposed to play the Gamecocks in Columbia this weekend.
But, due to the catastrophic floods in Columbia last week, LSU welcomed the Carolina Gamecocks to play on their field, instead. It was such short notice, but that didn't stop LSU's band from learning USC's fight song to play for the Gamecocks and for the warm welcome the Gamecocks received from the good folks of Louisiana.
And to top it off, LSU is donating the profit from their ticket sales to help the people in South Carolina.
Doesn't that give you goosebumps?

Laurie, In spite of all that is going on you have somehow managed to keep your sense of humor. Sounds like everyone is having some laughs, even under the circumstances and worries. It has been raining here pretty much all day. Glenn and I went our for a while, did a little shopping, had a Chick-fil-a and it rained most of the time we were out. On the way home, there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky while the rain kept coming down. It finally stopped a little while ago. Fair weather predicted tomorrow. Angela went to Myrtle Beach for Aiken High's Band Competition. The competition was cancelled because of weather but she, the kids and friends whose son is also in band decided to go Myrtle anyway. I am hoping it will do her and the children good to be with friends and having a little fun. I hope tomorrow will bring sunsine to you and all the folks in Andrews and that you can go back home where I have been praying all will be well!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn. I've always loved a good laugh. It helps! I'm ready for some sunshine. I think this week is going to have plenty. Hopefully, it will dry up some of the flood waters. I'm glad Angela decided to go on to Myrtle Beach. They should find plenty of fun things to do. At least, it will get her mind off things. Thank you for your prayers for our home folks in Andrews. I'm going home Tuesday. I can't wait! Have a great weekend.
DeleteWow- That was something about LSU! Good for them. We all pull together in bad times, don't we?
ReplyDeleteHow's the nitro and aspirin working for you? lol I sure hope it dries up here soon. It is awful what has happened down there.
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday- xo Diana
Thanks, Diana! HaHa, the nitro and aspirin are kicking in. That child of mine certainly knows how to put me on high alert.
DeleteLove the heart warming stories....Americans are the most giving people in the whole world...statistically proven....but when you experience it first hand the reality is wonderful. Hope the rain stops...that is the last thing y'all need!
ReplyDeleteWe experienced the same outpouring of kindness after hurricane Hugo. It's amazing! The rain has stopped and we had sunshine today. Yay! Hopefully the sun will start drying things up quickly.
DeletePeople really are basically good and kind and sharing and caring. Too bad it takes a natural disaster like this to bring the good deeds to the forefront. We need to hear more of the good news that happens every day rather than the sensationalism of the bad and ugly.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! This kind of kindness warms a persons heart and hopefully restores their faith in humanity.
DeleteI love that story. And the fact that the school is donating the earnings is amazing.
ReplyDeletePlease send us some of your rain.
Honey Lamb, I wish I could send you some rain. I know you need it. It's stopped here for now. We actually had some sunshine today. Yes, I thought that was an awesome gesture on LSU's part. However, they ripped us to shreds in the game. Lol!
DeleteWhat a life! You should write a blog! Oh... wait.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny! But, thank you anyway. I'll take that as a compliment.
DeleteOh you are funny!
ReplyDeleteHats off to LSU!
Yes, I thought that was a might nice thing for LSU to do.
