How Can 25 Years Have Passed Us By?!?

Twenty-five years ago today, Nathan and Kathy said, "I do!" How does time go by so quickly! In some ways it seems just like yesterday and in others like more than 25...especially when I think of all the things that have happened in those 25 years! They had a special get away planned to celebrate, but had to postpone it till Joy is doing better. They had planned to go to Alaska...something for them to look forward to...they can look forward both to the trip and to the fact that Joy is well enough for them to go! Joy continues to progress but very slowly...way too slowly in our eyes! I was awakened this morning by a really hard downpour that lasted for a while. It rained so hard that you couldn't see out the screens or the glass in our windows. I attempted to see what had been deposited in the rain gauge, but couldn't really see...but...thought that it showed around 1/2". After lunch, I headed to the church to work in the library with Donna. We got the books, that we started working on last week, the rest of the way ready and are now on the new-book shelf ready to be checked out. It started sprinkling on my way home, but I got in the house without meeting a drop of rain. Not long after I got inside, the bottom dropped out of the clouds, again. I was looking out to see if I could see the rain gauge and to my surprise, I saw that where I saw the splat of a rain drop in the gauge at about the 4" mark! So I'm guessing that the rain on the screen and window panes this morning kept me from seeing the actual rain line. So between the two rains I guess we got almost 4". Guess I won't have to water for a few days! I did get the next Christmas ornament started last night. Plus this morning, I checked in the pile of finished ornaments that were upstairs, as I realized that I had one up there that I hadn't "asssigned" to anyone. I looked at it and realized that it was a good one for Alex and Brooke...so one more finished...which puts me down to the one I am stitching and I think four more ornaments and I will be finished with my ornaments to gift this Christmas. Countdown is on! Then I can go back to stitching whatever I want when I sit down to relax in the evenings...or whenever. And, I can start thinking about finishing them into ornaments. To be continued! Be well! Be cautious!
