Mon.-Picked green beans and did some outside work before the heat hit. Heat index 102 apparently. Cleaned the living room, especially the book shelf, game cupboard, and bench beside the door. Also tidied my bedroom a little and cleaned the entryway to the man cave in prep for Sat. The CA neighbors are coming in this eve. so I turned on the air conditioners in the bedrooms and made up one bed and cleaned the basement a little. Susan mowed and weed whacked over there and got a nice sunburn. Michael worked on the farm and took extra insulation back to Lynchburg. He and Jordan floated down the river on inner tubes this eve. Phil and Freeman got home and turned around and went to a board meeting at church. Philip went home to work on his house. Susan and I will probably watch a movie and try to cool down. The AC is running constantly. 60 % chance of thunderstorms tonight. We can always hope.
Well, it's Tuesday, the 22nd and I am just getting back on here. Had a busy week getting ready for the pig roast on Sat. the 20th. Lee University Traveling Choir was here thanks to their director, Chris Carneal, who is a friend of ours from church. We had storm after storm come blowing in and tents and food and people got wet. Some took cover in their cars, barns, garage, and our house. Some went home. The last one was like a hurricane and then there was one more after that when it just rained. Some friends stayed and cleaned up for us. Made a world of difference. I was in the house during the worst storm and Wendy Brynan comes bursting through the front door asking if she could help with something. I screamed and screamed. Freeman knew it might happen and all kept it a secret. They stayed and visited for awhile that evening. Also, Tim Schaeur came and brought Dennis and Holly Miller. Amos and Rowena and Matt and Melanie, Durell and Melanie, and all their children were here. There were at least 300 people here. Everyone seemed to have a great time in spite of the hourly storms. A rainbow settled over the farm at the end and an eagle flew over close by as we cleaned up Sunday eve after our Father's Day meal together. Susan and I stayed home from church. So exhausted. Slept off and on all day. It's the second year we were stormed out in a row. We are thinking of moving the date to September.
