I am sick of the rain. We have had storm after storm for the last week. This morning we experienced the longest thunderstorm I have ever been through. It started around 4 am and the last peal of thunder boomed at 7:12. It is still raining with even darker clouds to the west. My poor garden is getting too much rain.
Michelle thought the tornado sirens were going off at about 5:30 so I opened the window to listen (they weren't) and was met by a blast of hot, muggy air. Usually the rain gets the humidity out of the air but not today. Mom and Dad left at just the right time. Yesterday was the muggiest day of the year thus far. Our former EQ president decided that yesterday was the day to move. I spent 45 minutes in a semi-truck trailer playing tetris with his belongings while losing 5 pounds of water. He was completely drenched from head to foot with sweat. They are moving to New York but will first stop to see his family in Maryland where it is supposed to be even hotter and muggier. I feel bad for Dave and especially for Tana.
Michelle and I get to go up to Decorah on Friday to see Caleb's dress rehersal. Their tour starts this coming Saturday. We are excited to see him and see how their show has come together. To those of you who were able to help sponsor him this summer, you have our deepest gratitude. And to those of you were were not in a position to do so, we know that you would have done so had you been able and we are equally grateful for your kind words of encouragement to Caleb.
Stay dry.
It all started with Michelle Lewis from Ohio, and Jason Clark from California. We met on a bus in Chicago in January of 1992. This is a blog that documents our crazy life.

I feel bad for anyone coming to Maryland, because it has been very humid. I am learning to just stay inside with the AC. It is just too hot for me out there too. Only two more months
What I considered a blessing was that when we wanted to go out somewhere, we had good weather. The sun was out and it wasn't really hot. The rain seemed to hold off for any activity we planned, including Michelle's race.
We noticed that the crops in Nebraska are far behind those in Iowa, and especially in Northeast Iowa. They, too, have had more water than they know what to do with. Fields were standing in water all along the way. Most of the houses in Waverly, NE, had flooded basements except for the Flacks but they had three sump pumps working when we got there.
I keep wondering why the Missouri and all other rivers in Iowa haven't been flooding like they did a couple of years ago because all the creeks and smaller rivers were over their banks.
I am glad we had good weather while we were there but I hope it clears up for you guys.
Stay safe.
We went to Maryland before we went to Virginia and it was humid but not too hot. Then, we went to virginia and it was crazy--hot, humid, gross! It was in the high 90's the entire time. Thankfully, we missed the rain. It made our trip hot but so much fun!
