Gonna Be A Long Day...!

Believe it or not, I have to go to V.A. today! On a Saturday...! What's up with that, I wonder?

Not only that, I have to be there at 8:00 AM ! Crazy, right? This will be the very first time that I have been scheduled by them for a Saturday appointment. It's pretty unusual, I think. Anyway, this visit is for a check-up by the heart doctor(didn't I just do one of those?), so I guess it is important enough for me not to play hooky. The whole thing just sounds a bit strange to me.

It's been 100 degrees for the past day and is expected to be the same today. I really don't like being on the road when it's this hot, but what can ya do?

Coffee is in the regular place, so help yourself...OK?

Very Late Post Today...!

What with the rain and picture taking and visiting and all the rest...it is a very late and short post today!

This might just be a timely post if you are getting all the same kind of storms we are here in Houston!

We still haven't made it to the San Jacinto Battlegrounds yet, but we are going to try again tomorrow! The weather just won't co-operate! Hope you like this short bit of information from the Old Farmer's Almanac!

There are many superstitions about summer thunder.

Some believe that it will frighten the beans into growing.

Others say that thunder in the morning brings wind, while a noon thunder brings rain and an evening thunder brings a tempest.

If there’s lightning without thunder, fair weather is on the way.

As for wind direction, “Thunder and lightning in the summer show, / The point from which the freshening breeze will blow.”

I'll get the pictures posted as soon as I can, and introduce you to my friend from New Zealand!

In the meanwhile, coffee is in the regular spot...so help yourself!
