Woody and I got up and got ready for church. We walked the six blocks to church. We attended the church that we were married in more than 41 years ago (and the church that I grew up attending). On our walk home we noticed that the clouds were building up and were getting grayer. I said that we needed to pick up the pace in order to beat the rain. We hadn't been back in the house much more than five minutes and it began to rain. It didn't rain long...not enough to wet the sidewalks and driveways (top left corner). About forty-five minutes after we got home from church we headed off to meet my niece and nephew and their two children at Marie Calender's (sort of a traditional place for us to go to brunch when we are here...I love their omelets made while you watch!). We hadn't gone too far down the road when it started raining again and it rained most of the rest of the way to the restaurant. By the time that we got there it was barely sprinkling. We enjoyed lots (probably too much) of good food and enjoyed the time with family. About the time we were ready to leave the bottom fell out again, but once again it didn't last too long and it was barely sprinkling when we went out to get in the car to come back to the house. By the time we got back, the clouds had started to break up and we were starting to see blue sky once again. Rain in AZ is a big topic of conversation...as can be noted by all that I had to say about it in the blog tonight!
After we got home, Cheryl called one of our friends to see if she could stop by for a visit. She came by and we had an enjoyable time of talking and catching up since the last time that we had seen each other.
Tonight I am washing clothes...they are on an electricity conserving program here...on week days they can use the washer and dryer after 9pm and any time on Saturday and Sunday. I've also got beans soaking for a pot of French Market soup that I'm planning to make tomorrow. Woody has been reading.
