Rain...and rain....and FLASH FLOOD WATCHES!!!!

OMG.....what a difference a couple of days can make!!!!!! From living in a desert surrounding my house for the past 7 weeks........we have quite a bit of nice slow rain today....and now we have been warned of possible flash floods in the next 24 hours........can you believe it????? A COLD front will stall out over our area of Missouri bringing heavy rains for the next 24 hours.........THANK GOD, we live UP on Buford Heights......with the only thought that we might be stuck on top of the hill surrounded by flooding, or that we will off of the hill when the waters rise and we won't be able to get back up to TheHowserHouse....both kinds. Oh well..............what else can I complain about....hahha.

We left for Cape Girardeau around noon and after going to visit Mike, we are spending the night at our daughter-in-law's home in Cape. We have some thing to take care of in the morning and then will be returning to F'town tomorrow afternoon.........."if the creeks don't rise".

Once again, Chapter 4 will have to be postponed until hopefully tomorrow evening, as Sunday we are going north to the land without internet access.....Monroe City!! We will be up there until mid-week.......but, as I said last night, hopefully I can run over to Hannibal to use the wifi at the Quality Inn and Suites.

Oh........I finally HAD IT this morning and took my glasses back to the Vision Center for a refund. After three pair of different lenses, countless adjustments to the frames, and still last night two car lights looked like FOUR headlights when I turned my head to check before pulling out onto the street..........I told them I needed a refund, minus my eye exam. AND.......they wrote out a check for the correct amount of the refund. Soooooo, tomorrow morning, as soon as LensCrafters opens, I am going to see about getting something done there in a few short hours. I have GREAT HOPES that I can get what I need and what I want in a new pair of glasses.......but after almost two months of problems with the ones I received, I am just a tad bit worried!!!!! We'll see........we'll see!!!!

And sooooooo..........with lots of rain falling, the hopes of new glasses by tomorrow evening, and a few days away from home..........

Life is GREAT!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
