This and That

This past week has been a wet one! For a couple of days we have been slushing through the puddles doing tours. Last night just as we were taking a couple out, the heavens opened and poured. We only got about 10 feet out the door when they wanted to go back in. We ended up giving a picture tour that is set up for just such times. Not quite like the real thing but the pictures are great and the spirit can be felt.


Outside our house the water puddles up and seeps into the basement so the sump pump has to keep working along with the dehumidifier. Some of the older houses on site had to be pumped out because the water came in too fast. Sister Bell said she was having to go through 3" of water to get to her washer.


Speaking of humidity......Here is a comparison picture of some Ice Breakers I carry around in my pocket. Two days in my pocket and they start to dissolve. I have to figure out a way to keep them more dry.....perhaps a plastic bag will help. =o)




Today we had some interesting ways of transportation. The site was very busy being the day before the 4th of July. We looked out in the parking lot and here was a really old blue bus that had been converted. They drove all the way out from Utah! Then this really neat racing limo drove up with some more visitors. Even the driver was decked out in his racing uniform!




A few times now we have looked out and have seen a deer in our yard! They are so pretty and fun to watch.

Great pictures! You are in a very pretty area. I wonder just where one parks with such long "transportation". It must be quite and experience driving through towns and getting around corners. The sump pump reminds me of home when mom and dad had to install one when they took out the large poplar in the back yard. Water seeped in from the canal for a long time.
