For the last few nights the weather has teased us with the possibility of rain. Every night around nine o'clock, thunder rumbles from the west and lightening breaks across the horizon. We wait for the sound of rain on the windows and roof. But nothing. We turn on the news and see the evidence of rain storms across the northern part of the state, but nothing seems to come down across the southern crescent.
I spoke with momma last night and she told me they had had several inches of rain each day for the past few days. When I told her we had not she informed me that she didn't have much sympathy for us since we had been getting rain in the recent past when they had not. Not the kind of attitude I expect from my mother. Dad, maybe. But not mom.
Niece Lily is staying with mom and dad for a couple of weeks. We are driving up to visit. Cindy and Kate will stay in Dunwoody tonight. I don't know what we will be doing this weekend.
Yesterday afternoon Cindy informed me that she and Kate wanted pancakes for supper. I volunteered to make them for them, but she wanted to go to IHOP. As it turned out, it was a pleasant meal. I had double blueberry pancakes and ham. Kate had a huge omelette. It might have been God's omelette. I don't know how she got it. Cindy had some bacon and egg and potato and cheese skillet dinner. She ate about half of it. Cindy and Kate took the balance of their meals home.
After dinner, Cindy informed me that she needed gas in the car. We drove up to Sunnyside and filled up at the new Racetrack gas station. They have the cheapest gas in metro Atlanta, for now. 3.94 for regular. I put $40 worth in Cindy's car and $30 worth in mine. We both got about half a tank out of that. Of course, mine will last longer and go farther.
I get to drive to Greenville today. That is a trip I haven't made in awhile. I've got to get the oil and filters changed beforehand.
Time to carry on.
