Drenched and delighted about it

We both wakened early and did an hour of stretching. I then got ready and went to meet Phil at the golf course. It was overcast but the predictions by the weather people said the rain would hold off until the afternoon. We played the first hole in a light sprinkle (I pared it) and then went to 2 in a lighter sprinkle (I bogeyed it--a par 3). On our way to 3 the sprinkled harder and I didn’t shoot well. The 4th is a par 5 and the rain began in earnest. We finished the hole but it was raining far too hard to finish. We returned, got a rain check, and made a T time for 10:40 tomorrow. The rains are supposed to stop late tonight. I came home to find Evelyn finishing mopping the tile surfaces. I changed clothes and touched up some of the spots on the walls in the bathroom but am not satisfied with how it blended. We had soup for lunch and looked through an old picture album in the afternoon. Around 5 I started the coals to barbecue the steaks we had bought at the GO grocery yesterday. We had also bought some brats so I cooked them all at once. We had bought 2 “reduced” NY strip steaks but shared only 1, keeping the other for another time. We also kept the bratwurst. Evelyn had made baked potatoes so we had a real dinner “out”. We cleaned the kitchen and I took some scraps up to the dogs up the mountain. We stayed home and watched an old movie we checked out of the library: The Carpetbaggers. We have been blessed with rain nearly all day, much of it heavy. We really needed what we have had but are trying to make up for a 2 1/2 feet shortfall the past 3 years.
