Ready go:

Let the rain fall down today in Maryland...all day long.  A light a gentle rain.  We read three picture books and visited the library to receive our summer reading gift.  The librarian said, "once you read five books you can come for your gift."  After we asked for our gift, another librarian said, "come get your gift at the end of the program in August."  I felt like falling over and fainting.  One says one thing and another says another thing.  What do you expect from the government?

Oh well, it is a good day to read and visit the library with the rain falling down all day.  A little chillier today than it has been recently.  My son and daughter need the sweats on when they go to their lifeguarding jobs.  I asked my son how work was when he came home and he said, "boring."  I felt like falling over and fainting - just kidding.  Oh well, at least he has a job.  I replied, "yea, it's a boring kind of day.

My other son is spending time at our Maryland beach house with friends in the rain today.  Hopefully, they'll be able to spend some sunny days there before they return home.  Hubby will be going to the beach house after time trials for swim team.

I think I will fall down and faint if it rains tomorrow for time trials...just kidding.  The rain has been falling down lightly at a steady pace all day today.  My daughter is getting ready to go lifeguard in the rain now.  There won't be too many people at the pool today.  Oh well, at least she has a job.

Hubby has been on the computer all day and there is much cleaning and organizing to do in the house.  I think I will fall down and faint...just kidding.  It is one of those rainy days we are trying to make the best of here in Maryland.  Our entire family still lives under one roof and it can be crazy on days like this.  Nevertheless, we said some prayers and lifted our hearts to God for his guidance and protection.  Let the rain fall down today!!
