RAIN, and more RAIN

As many of you are experiencing this month, there has been alot of rain where we live. They said last night on the news that it has rained a significant amount of water, 11 of the 14 days in June so far. It's not a record yet, they said, but if it rains 17 days or more than it will be.

For me the rain is not so bad, I just don't like the thunder and lightning that sometimes comes with it. Dan loves that part.

With all the rain: the lawn is really green, but there are mushrooms in it(too much moisture).
With all the rain: I can't get out to weed in the yard(oh darn), but the weeds are still growing taller.
With all the rain: We can't send our nieces and nephews outside to play, so we're having to keep them inside for rainy day activities(they're going stir crazy!)
With all the rain: It might ruin Strawberry Days activites this week, and things would not be the same.
With all the rain: There seems to be more accidents because Utahns still drive the same speed whether it's wet or dry.
With all the rain: It seems like April and not June.

Rain, Rain go away, come again some other day, we just want to play!

7th Annual Girlfriends at the Cabin

June 5-June 7 was the 7th annual Girlfriends get-together at the cabin. It was great to have so many of us there:Janet, Becky, Tiff, Bobbie, Linda, Heather, and I. We always have such a great time playing games, watching movies, eating, talking, walking, eating, and reading. Normally there's a big air hockey tourney--but not this year, so prepare for next! I enjoyed sharing Usborne books with my friends, now that I am a consultant--thanks for the orders!

The weather was lovely, everything is really green, and the lake is really high this year.

A movie recommendation: Forever Strong--it's awesome! And games: Beanho and Nines.

While playing games, a fawn walked past the window. We were amazed it was so close to the cabin. We were watching it until it really looked into the window and saw us, and got spooked and ran away.
