It’s still raining. It rained all day yesterday too. I spent Saturday, shopping in the rain for a cookout today. Tomorrow is Robbie’s 7th Birthday and today we are celebrating with a little party. Kelli and Tim, and Denny and Leenie and their three kids are coming down from Portland to, evidently, sit under our awning and hide from the rain. Eleven people. It’s still raining. It’s Oregon. What did I expect?

I have twelve ears of corn to cook in the fire pit. I have chicken and sausage dogs wrapped in bacon to cook on the grill. I have company coming. I have a motorhome to house them. I have no idea how to do it in the rain. Please stop raining.

They will be here by noon.

J stopped by to let is know that we could use the porch at the camp store for our party. There are tables and grills and a roof to keep is dry. We’ll do that if it doesn’t stop soon. The sun is trying to peek through. Maybe if I blow hard enough I can catch the tail end of this thing and move it on past. They say it’s the remnants of a Typhoon way out in the Pacific. That’s me- Typhoon Teresa.

9:00p

It was a nice day even if we got a bit smooshed together keeping out of the wet. We didn’t use the offered camp porch. Ours worked out fine enough. There was just enough dry time to get the food cooked and do a little fishing with the kids. The girls caught tons of fish and Jaymi caught two crabs that scurried back into the water faster than I could snap a picture. I think everyone had a good time -especially the Birthday Boy who caught his very first fish on his very last cast. It didn’t matter to him that the fish he caught was no more than a minnow in size. He was elated. It was a joy to see his face shine with happiness.

I had a good time too, but I am wiped out and off to bed.

Tomorrow, I have to find out where my pathology has hidden and get it to the city somehow. But not tonight. Tonight I think I will be able to sleep!
