Raindrops keep falling on my head

It has been a wet summer here in the Ohio River Valley. Today was crazy, with two separate severe thunderstorms, one of which dropped an estimated 6 inches of rain over Louisville in one hour. We were very fortunate in these storms. We lost power for a few hours and had some water in our basement, but it's nothing compared to others in the city, some of whom have lost their homes and vehicles. The University of Louisville and Churchill Downs both had several feet of water, and we don't know what kind of damage will be sustained if it keeps raining and the river begins to flood.

Mark has been building a shed in our backyard and his work keeps getting delayed by rain. Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow and he can get it finished before he goes back to school for an in-service on Thursday. Summer has gone by so fast...I can't believe he's already headed back to school! I feel for him, though I think he's ready to get out of this madhouse and back into a regular routine. Lord knows I am!
