Vacation Time!

Our vacation is finally here! We loaded most of our stuff in the van last night and got up this morning and loaded the rest. Left town about 7 a.m. We're in Abilene tonight. I hope we don't have any severe weather. At least not like we had at home Tuesday night. It poured down rain and the lightning flashed almost constantly, lighting up the sky like a light show. Parts of town were flooded. Mom had 1 1/2 inches in her rain gauge the next morning. At least we didn't have to water her yard after that rain. But the weeds will grow like crazy. I have a contact to make when we get back with someone about doing Mom's yard on a regular basis. She has someone coming after the 1st to see about doing something with the HUGE cottonwood in her back yard. It's about 50 years old, provides lots of shade, but it's diseased, and the roots are damaging the concrete in the next door neighbor's back yard. Afraid the wind might blow a large limb on top of one of the houses and do some damage. We'll have to see what the tree man says, according to Mom.

Well, I guess I'll let P get on and check his e-mail and such. TTFN
