I spent most of yesterday convinced that the weather and forecasters were taunting us with claims it would rain. But yesterday evening the blessed rain came and brought its friend cool temperatures. So far the clouds are staying, hope they stay all day, and there is a chance we might get some more rain. My guess is that we got in the neighbor hood of half an inch last night. When Mom got home, which was late, we went out on a quick errand and the rain got a bit heavier as we got closer to home. Not only did we need a break from the blast furnace, but we needed the rain.

Mom's birthday is Friday and she managed to get the day off. So we are going to go out and have a little fun, then have dinner at her choice of restaurant.
