More rain

Day 14, "Every picture has a story"

I did not know the people who lived here but in the fall of 1978 I had a 9th grade home room at Highland Park and one of the boys' grandparents lived here.  One of the boys missed a couple of days so when he returned I asked him why he had been absent.  He said that he and a friend were at his grandparents place over the weekend.  His grandpa loaded shells and he and his friend got into some of grandpa's things.  Some how they managed to ignite some gun powder and they blew a hole in the roof of the attic!  He did not say what grandpa thought!!!

When I emptied the rain gauge last night it showed 1.1" so we are good to go for a while in terms of rain.  A tennis team guy came over yesterday and we had lunch.  Caught up on some of the news about friends from FL.  I did manage to get the lawn mowed yesterday as it kind of dried up in the afternoon.  

I was surprised as I sold one of the used toilets that I had posted.  Sixty $ is sixty $ and it was nice to get another thing out of the garage.  

I will not be on my blog for a few days but will most likely get back to it on Sunday.
