Saturday April 28

NORMAN AND I HEADED TO TOWN THIS MORNING BRIGHT AND EARLY.. WE KNEW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN, BUT BOTH THOUGHT WE UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN LATER IN THE EVENING..  We went to Western Sizzlin and hit the breakfast bar before we were going to start.. "working on the chicken pen"

 After we ate, we went to Neathawks to get supplies, then we were headed towards Tinglers to get "chicken wire".. I happened to glance out the window into the side mirror.. Woops, I said, "I think the trailer has a flat tire" So, he pulled over at "The Gettin Place" (parking lot) to check it.. Sure enough, it was "flat as a pancake!" Uggg, all we needed.. especially since the trailer was loaded with lumber (*.*) Thanks to Norman and Nathan, they saved our day by bringing his air tank and putting air back into the tire.. Seems fine now, thankfully!! But then the rain started, and it was putting it down! The lightening was brightening up the dark sky.. Wow! It was interesting waiting on Norman to get there.. But, we are grateful that he came to our rescue! We appreciate the help!  So, being that it was raining so hard, we just helped him and Nathan for awhile! Glad to do it!! Then when it cleared up, we just keep helping him Jenna and Nathan, and was very glad for the chance... THANK YOU GOD, PLEASE KEEP US ALL CLOSE! The rain stopped as fast as it started!

================================================

LATER, NATHAN AND ABIGAIL CAME HOME WITH US TO SPEND THE EVENING AND NIGHT.. WE HAD GOOD OLE BREADSTICKS AND SAUCE FOR SUPPER AND CHIPS.. IT WAS REALLY GOOD FOR A CHANGE, OR MAYBE IT WAS THAT I WAS JUST HUNGRY! LOL

=============================

WE DIDN'T DO MUCH AFTER THEY CAME, BUT IT IS ALWAYS HAVING THEM UP.. THEY ARE A LOT OF COMPANY! (*.*) (*.*)

'Rain' by Mother Nature © Catherine Defreita   'Rain' by Mother Nature  She sets up and dims the lights Her orchestra of wind blowing through lush green trees Builds from a whisper to a forte Crescendo!

          Beautiful lightening cast blinding light in a white dangerous rhythm Thunder drums quietly, then BOOM! 

                                          And it stops...

   To let applause ripple through the valley which she lingers

                Until it stops in the early hours of the dawn

              With the sun peaking over the glittering hills

                                 Her song has finished

                      She slips away and hides in solitude

                                To write another song

                                To shatter earthly silence

                               Once again to amaze us all

                               And shower us with 'Rain'
