We finally got Rain

I was awaken yesterday and again this morning to a aching back and the sound of rain.  We’ve had several thunder storms.  Yesterday storms were not as much thunder, but lots of needed rain.  Today was another story.  We had thunder for at least 2 hours or more.  From 1am to almost 10 am we had round of thunder storms.  Yesterday afternoon temps were back in the 90’s and today even higher reaching 97 degrees!  The rain was nice and we did get a bit of cool down but since the rains the humidity is even worse.  They are predicting 102 again tomorrow.

I got my laundry done yesterday, ughhh i had 5 loads!  Although it’s not put away but it’s in the baskets :))
Today after the rain left we decided to take the day and do something regardless of the heat.  We went to Bass Pro and looked at the new exhibits they were working on when we were here almost 2 years ago.  Sorry, i forgot my camera. 

After several hours of walking, i was exhausted, the heat is still getting the best of me.  We went and got diesel at Wal-mart.  Some Wal-marts have an added 10 cents off with their card.  We actually got diesel for $3.60 a gal and all other places were $3.73, that is 13 cents a gallon saving.  Since we were getting pretty low the saving almost paid for one of our lunch/dinner.  We stopped by Long John Silver and got something to eat. 

We got home to a rather warm home.  For some reason the breaker for our AC units had blown and the poor dogs were warming up.  We were glad we hadn’t made it an all day long outing (we normally don’t unless we have someone to check on the dogs when it’s this hot).  They were happy to see us.  The bedroom was still kinda cool and the dogs were all upstairs when we got home.  The down stairs was 88 degrees! 

I took a nap after we got cooled back down.  We had a great day spending time together.
