precious rain continues

We weren’t up very early because the alarm didn’t work. When we did arise, we drank some orange juice and rushed out the door, planning to walk the lake first thing. Then our sliding screen door got stuck. We had a difficult time moving it. I sprayed WD40 in the tracks and finally moved it. By now it was too late to walk first. Instead we returned some DVDs to the library and took Evelyn down to be weighed at Weight Watchers. She had lost a little weight. We then deposited a check she had in the bank and drove to walk the lake. As we began to walk, we received a phone call containing some distressing news. As we walked we prayed fervently, and God in His mercy answered our prayers. We received another call that said things were all right. We thanked God as we finished our walk. It was around noon so we came home for lunch. Then I settled in to watch the Cubs on TV only to learn the game had been rained out. I showered and then took a short but noisy (snoring) nap. We dressed and drove to Canton to participate in the Relay for Life walk. I had hoped to bid on a round of golf at the local country club as last year, but the oncology office had not entered their offering in the silent auction. We don’t know whether they didn’t care enough to participate or the Relay committee did a poor job in contacting them for solicitation of a prize. We have another Relay to attend in a couple of weeks and hope to bid then. We returned home for a small sandwich and dressed to go to the monthly ballroom dance. We saw some old friends and met new ones. I wonder how much longer I can dance. My left leg aches quite a bit of the time, limiting my range of motion. It began raining while we were there, causing us to wonder about the teams that are to walk all night for the Relay. Weslaco has still had no rain. This is a tragedy for an area that is not too prosperous anyway.
