This weather..

.. is amazing.

I got up early because the sun was actually out.. but within 10 minutes it had gone back to what is currently normal.

It's raining, but not just 'rain'.. it's like the monsoon out there. There was monsoon all day yesterday, ALL DAY, no let up at all.. and the way the sky is looking, we're in for the same today.

Cabin fever..

Troll email

A friend of mine who has been through a lot lately (including financial difficulties), has a dog who is in dire straights. Another friend sent out an email asking if people could contribute money to help them out with their vet bills. We received the following email:

People, Not hard to tell this pet is loved,but, let's keep things in perspective. The resources spent on this situation.

It is God’s creation. She is God’s child.”
