Monday Update, Deluge Edition
























It has rained every day for about ten days now.  Every morning, without fail.  This has caused some difficulty to me in my bicycling, because it is not advisable to ride out in a thunderstorm.  I probably needed the week off anyway, considering how I had been feeling.  But I'm tired of waiting now!

Starting today, all of the children are now in their new school-year schedules.  Little Red had his first day at Kindergarten, so we should have some interesting things to talk about this evening.

The Runner organized and held a benefit yard sale this weekend. It was a good idea hampered by our location (though our road isn't exactly hidden, it's not one many people seem to know about) and by the absolutely wretched weather.  Most of the sales were done on the Friday "pre-sale" day.  So now, naturally, we have a garage full of used stuff that needs to be sent on its way to various places.  I expect that we should have it all cleaned out . . . in a couple of weeks.

I have to say this about The Runner, though:  she can work like a champ.

Work starts in earnest this week. We know it's so when the "retreats" start up.

We have also had rain almost every day but mainly in the afternoon. It is very cool here today - very unusual for mid-August in GA.

I love this picture - Papa Bear with three cubs. Your comments about your boys and school are right on. We lift them in prayer every day as we do all of you.

Now just take care of yourself and have a great start to the year at UTM. You have a lot on your plate!
