Memorial Day Weekend

For this Memorial Day weekend our TX children are here. Today DC and his wife AA arrived with their bull dog Sampson. BJ got here on Thursday night with hyper dog Troy, who is staying with us while BJ spends the weekend at a house on the beach with seven friends. Troy is running and running around our backyard, barking at the birds he sees flying overhead.

Tonight we are going to a wedding. I will wear my "uniform," which is a long turquoise dress with a jacket. This is the fourth wedding I've worn it to this year. Since I haven't lost any weight, this is still the dress to wear!
We are having a few thunder showers, with infrequent rainfall. Last week when a thunderstorm came in, we had 1/3 inch of rain. Corpus Christi is in the worst stage of drought: D4 Exceptional Drought. A map of TX showing the drought conditions is here.

With hurricane season starting on June 1st, that may be the only way we'll get enough rain to lessen the drought. But we don't want a hurricane at all.

We've hardly had any rain here as well. And this area supposedly holds the record for most frequent rainfall.

Hope you enjoy the wedding. Your dress is lovely.
