Packed up and Ready to Go Home .
My family left for home today and were gone by about 7 a.m. I'm always very sorry to see them go. I get to see them so seldom and they are so far away. Debbie called about 6 p.m. and said they were just getting in to Vegas so they made pretty good time and got back home safely. She said it was 47 degrees when they left here and was 104 down there.
I got all the sheets washed in the morning. Then decided to take the day off, so turned on one of the movie channels and caught up my reading. Never thought I'd get through them all, but did go through all my back art and other magazines. I clipped out the pictures I wanted to keep and file, and saved some of the more serious reading for later. I felt obligated to read about a year and a half of Reader's Digest and stacked them up on my desk for several days. THEN..... threw them all into the recycling bag. I was pretty proud of myself that I was able not to be obsessive about thinking I had to read them all from cover to cover, since I'd only bought the subscription to help Clay with a fund raiser project at school. It was a big relief to let go of them all. Joe also took it easy today, and mostly just sat and watched sports.
The power went out for several hours in the afternoon until 7:30 or so. There were severe thunderstorm warnings and high wind up to about 60 mph. I don't remember that we got much rain here out of it, but they did get flooding in the northern part of the county. I fixed hamburger mushroom onion gravy over rice for dinner and luckily it was done early.
