Congratulations to your granddaughter and best wishes on her plans for the future.<br /><br />My hamstring is mending very, very slowly, thanks for asking. Between it and the rain, I'm going stir crazy while looking at four walls. But I am getting lots of reading done.

The weather! Most turbulent airplane landing I have ever lived through. It took us an hour and a half to get from IAH to Sugarland. And the football religion was in force at the graduation. But it was a fun if whirlwind trip. I could not have squeezed in a visit to you even if we could have planned it. Hope your hamstring is better.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-81203414042320582862016-05-28T18:19:47.851-05:002016-05-28T18:19:47.851-05:00Extreme weather will likely continue to be our lot...Extreme weather will likely continue to be our lot until we decide to do something to ameliorate the effects of climate change. This is the second major flood in our area within the last six weeks. This time at our house we got 12.5 inches and now all the roads around us are blocked by flooding, so we are essentially cut off. What an adventure!Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-8868610047805029862016-05-28T17:30:48.311-05:002016-05-28T17:30:48.311-05:00I've been hearing about your rain from a coupl...I've been hearing about your rain from a couple of Facebook friends. Our weather has become scarier and scarier, and I say that as a person living in a neighborhood that was never a flood zone but flooded in 2006 and (worse) in 2011. But continued flooding is something we in the world are going to have to learn to live with, somehow.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-84509612880157052642016-05-28T13:38:34.534-05:002016-05-28T13:38:34.534-05:00The sun is out today and it's all good!The sun is out today and it's all good!Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-75759500094468210192016-05-28T12:27:36.316-05:002016-05-28T12:27:36.316-05:00My goodness...So much rain is going to drown the p...My goodness...So much rain is going to drown the plants!

The water is over the end of our driveway and the drainage ditch along the street is out of its banks at 4:00 in the afternoon. Not sure how much longer the rain is expected to continue, but we've surely had enough to last for a while!Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-37555478042860981142016-05-27T16:07:51.622-05:002016-05-27T16:07:51.622-05:00This rain is getting a bit scary.

I love that Justicia - I've never heard of that, but I really like it :-) Stay safe and dry. Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.com
