Today I mowed the yard. It was awfully long & quite a job. Mother & Zen left today on vacation to Cleo's - Lowell's - Niagara Falls - Michigan - Wisc. & home. After work, Ron & Dave Taylor took the boat to the D.M. river to see how the controls worked. Clarence was gone too so Nellie & I had a drink then took our kids to the Root Beer Stand for supper, then took Bev out to Irvine's for a 4-H meeting. A storm blew up really quick. The wind blew hard & blinding rain. I had left the bedroom windows open but it didn't rain in. It sure did in Dave's car though - He had left it in the street with the windows down. Ron & Dave had gotten out of water before rain started & got home about 9:30.
