Risk, Contemplating, & Rain

********** 

This is the "Second Day" for the Central Virginia’s 519th Women’s Cursillo weekend.

 Please continue to pray for the team and the candidates.

Our son Eric and his family are here for the week. On Tuesday afternoon the "guys" played Risk, the "Halo Wars Edition." I was the first one out, followed by Justin. Eric and Conner battled with victory going to Eric. It was a great way to spend the afternoon, and we had a good time being together and laughing.

We celebrated Dee's birthday with all the family at the Mellow Mushroom. The food, drink and service were excellent.
A young man sitting with his family was kind enough to take a photo of our clan.

Old Man Rain

by Madison Cawein

"Old Man Rain at the windowpane

Knocks and fumbles and knocks again:

His long-nailed fingers slip and strain:

Old Man Rain at the windowpane

Knocks all night but knocks in vain.

Old Man Rain.

Old Man Rain at the windowpane

Reels and shambles along the lane:

His old gray whiskers drip and drain:

Old Man Rain with fuddled brain

Reels and staggers like one insane.

Old Man Rain.

Old Man Rain is back again,

With old Mis' Wind at the windowpane,

Dancing there with her tattered train:

Her old shawl flaps as she whirls again

In the wildman dance and is torn in twain.

Old Mis' Wind and Old Man Rain."

The rain continues, which is good because it is not snow. However, our lawn is beginning to look like a bog ....
