6-1 Summer is Close

Getting Ready For Summer

This morning the sun was shining but by the afternoon the clouds rolled in. Summertime starts this month. We have been having a lot of rain and lots of places in Texas are flooding. Lake Belton is overfull, The Corps of Engineers has had the gate open to lower the lake but because of all the flooding south-east of us they had to close the gate and now the lake is going back up. Yesterday they said all of the boat ramps are underwater and had to be closed on both Lake Belton and Stillhouse Hollow. They have even closed most of the campgrounds on both lakes. Not sure when we will be able to put the boat in the lake.

I started reading the last Cork O'Connor book, Windigo Island and Larry moved our back up camera on the truck. While we were eating lunch we received an e-mail from The UPS Store that said we had a package waiting for us, we loaded Flo into the car and went to pick up our package. We were trying to figure our what the package was, it was a belt buckle that he had ordered a couple days ago, he wants to use it with his new beaded belt. He was surprised it was here, it was coming from India and the vendor indicated it could take up to a month to arrive. When we got home I read some more and Larry relaxed.

We decided to take the night off of square dancing, it's suppose to be raining so we watched television. The first show we watched was on our local PBS channel KNCT, it was A Town Hall Meeting with President Obama. The next show was through the ROKU, American Masters: August Wilson - The Ground On Which I Stand. It was a documentary about August Wilson, he was a Tony and Pulitzer winning playwriter. It was very interesting. We then streamed some music videos from YouTube and I read. By the time I went to bed I had finished reading Windigo Island.
