Fay

I was up late, and slept in late. I need to unprepare for the unhurricane, like put yard and sun room stuff back out. Tropical storm Fay is still fooling around the coasts of our lovely state, but she had little effect on our neighborhood. Lots of rain and a firm but gentle breeze helped cool the days but did nothing to upset our normal way of life. We had prepared to some degree. Had water and food on hand, braced our garage door,took out the plastic windows from the sun room, etc.

We are amazed at the number of critters making night noises in the catchment pond behind our house, though. Normally dry, this is just a large area dug out to contain run off when rain comes by the bucketful like it can do in this state. Now, however, it has some standing water and is teeming with creatures of the swamp persuasion. In fact last night when I took Baby Snooks out to do her business, something large, long and damp flew onto my arm, spiraling itself clear around from wrist to elbow. I flung it off and went inside, leaving the clueless dog outside to finish her job alone.

It has rained most of the day here and at Disney, but Richard said the parks were pretty busy. I can't say much, we've done Disney in the rain many, many times. One man from New Hampshire said he kind of liked Disney in the rain because it was cooler and a few less people were in the parks. It's been a while since we've been over to the parks. Sometimes we let ourselves get too busy.

I'm really excited about our Wednesday morning Bible Studies. We are doing Revelation and are working on chapter six now, the four horsemen... so much there! One member of our group suggested I write up my notes so they would have them as reference. I am enjoying doing that. I worked on it some today.

I went to Giveback's business meeting this evening. They have made some changes in how the meeting is conducted and who should attend and I think much more will be accomplished now. Next Thursday, we have Advanced Cognitive Training a workout in Contextual Processing.

It's been a blessed day and I have felt the Lord Jesus right beside me all day long. Of course, He always is there, where ever I go, but sometimes, all to often, I don't take notice. I miss a lot that way.
