Rain in the Afternoon
I am hoping the rain that has begun falling at 4:30 will continue for a while. The backyard has cracks in the soil.
The luncheon that Dennis and I went to in Mankato was the close of the Chosen Frozen Korean Veterans for this area of the state. The letter from the home organization laid out all that was needed to be sent to them. The funds in the treasury were dispersed to three beneficiaries: the VFW post where the meetings have been held for repairs and to the Blue Earth County Library. Though it was a mere $2,600.00, no money needs to be sent to the home organization.
We were home shortly after two in the afternoon. I called a friend, June, to see if she was up for company. June had lived down the road on Stauffer Avenue until two years ago when she moved into an apartment. June has never driven so the relationship is a bit one sided. June had a severe change in her life this spring, when she went to the hospital with COPD. June walked everywhere, everyday. This may not have been brought on as suddenly as first suspected. Today she showed off her portable oxygen bag. She is on oxygen 24/7. A whole lot for this 82 year young person to adjust to.
It was as I was returning home that the skies got dark with a horrendous clap of thunder.
I came down into the studio to put up a few items I had purchased at JoAnn Fabric. Not much needed here in the studio. When all was said and done with t-shirt quilt blocks, there were two not needed to make the top times two. I will make those two blocks into pillows for Michel’s two small sons. Pillow forms: buy one, get the second at 50% off. Why not.
It will be interesting when I close down the studio to see if the rain is continuing when I hit the first floor of the house. I can only hope.
Tomorrow I will be at the hospital here in town by nine for my metabolic blood panel to be drawn. Small inconvenience for reassurance.
