Howdy! In my muddy springtime boredom, I was Googling Lauren and found your blog--I love it! Look's like y'all are having a wonderful time down there. Check out my blog at www.thesandhill.blogspot.com.

I don't know whether your girls told you, but we, too had thunder and lightning and rain, and a drop from the 80s to the 50s. I can imagine, though, being where you are, there would seem to be more of a feeling of vulnerability. Our electricity flickered instead of going out! We did have 1.5 inches of rain I guess it was Saturday night, but then the rain "all day" Sunday was fairly typical of here. This is the only place where I have lived where it can rain for hours and seem almost totally dry!
