Rain. The rain we didn’t get in Arlington during the week—apparently Waxahachie did! The faire site was a mess already when we arrived Friday night, making unloading the vehicle very special. And, despite the fact that Mama and John and William and McKenna were in the RV in the parking lot, we opted not to walk out to have an evening visit with them—because of the mud! Instead, we went upstairs, thinking we’d call it an early night, and discovered we had to completely remake our bed—and deal with a leak. Yep. Wet futon—not fun. Brand new roof. Grrrr.
So, anyway, after a busy, busy day, and a wonderful visit in the pouring rain with the family as they tried bravely, to experience the faire with us, the only picture worth posting is this interesting shot of the quilt that was on our bed until we had to hang it to dry! The quilt is one of two that Kyle’s grandmother we call Nonie, made for us–this one’s actually his–and we have used them and used them and loved them almost to pieces!
We really did enjoy our time with my family—it was just way too brief. I’m hoping a July visit to Florida can actually happen for me. After my mama has just spent a month with her beautiful little granddaughter, I’m thinking she’ll be lonely, and a visit from me might be a good thing!
