Hello!

It's Wednesday and Lynne and I survived a rainstorm that had roads flooded and unfortunately, the intern's dorms flooded. So, we waded through the water and tried to rescue guitars, suitcases, shoes, clothes and other assorted things from the dorm floors. The rain lasted most of the morning, and took out the electricity, so our plans for the day were canceled. Luckily, just about the time to go pick their son, Stephen, up from school the flood water receded and Lynne was able to drive out and get him. Lynne told me that this is the rainy season, but she has never seen it rain so hard before. I have to admit, the rain was pretty impressive - me being from California - and seeing rain like that only in short spurts, not half day dumps! Then, just as it was becoming really hot and muggy, the electricity came back on. Don't you just love fans? Woo Hoo!

With the rain and the flooding, Lynne thinks we may have extra people here for dinner, so we may be cooking up a storm tonight, but at least we won't flood the kitchen!
