June 18- July 2
From a stormy MO!
The past few weeks have been rather interesting on a weather setting - rain (light and torrential), lightning and thunder, wind, and today rather good size hail (most was small today, but some looked about the diameter of a nickel). The Grand River may be back in its banks, but with the torrential rain we received this afternoon - I'm guessing it will go up again. I think the height of the river at one time was a little more than 11 feet above flood stage. The farmers in this area (as well as others) are taking quite a hit. I don't think most of the lower areas of Chillicothe had much flooding.
Jim left on the 26th with four others for Canada and a week of fishing. I have been rather "slumming" it since then - usually eat breakfast out, have spent some time with Pat at Jamesport and Trenton - then today we explored some stores in Chillicothe. I have slept in a couple of mornings and didn't have any opposition from the two girls.
I am going over to Bob and Karen's on Friday for a cookout, but won't stay to watch the fireworks in the park. The girls are quite good during thunder storms, but they don't like fireworks. I'll just close the blinds at home and locate the channel with the live concert back East and see if the music will distract them some. Jim and the guys should be back in Chillicothe by 9:30 - or a little earlier.
We have joined Pat and Ron at the Wabash for BBQ and then to attend the outdoor concert by local bands. This past weekend they were good enough to include me so we made a threesome.
Be safe.
