61 degrees this morning, going for a high of 70. I just went out and dumped about 2.9" of rain out of the gauge. And I swept the water off the deck. The rain is forecast to continue off and on for the next 24 hours.
I hope it is over before 10 a.m. tomorrow because I have to go to the north edge of Ft. Worth to get our younger daughter and take her to the UT Southwestern Medical School Hospital in Dallas. I guess I'm always a bit reluctant to post personal information on the Internet, especially when I don't really have enough facts, but we'd appreciate everyone's prayers for our daughter. She made the mistake of having weight reduction surgery several years ago. And it appeared to be successful for a few years. However, she's been in near continuous pain now for at least 5 years. She's been to many doctors and many tests, losing weight, cannot keep anything down that she eats. The doctors have concluded that her stomach is only capable of holding less than one cup and that she's soon going to die without an artificial feeding tube. They installed one earlier this month but it got clogged up and had to be removed. She's to get another one installed tomorrow. She turned 50 years old 2 months ago. To make matters even worse, 6 years ago she adopted a little girl who will now be 14 later this year.
Don, I envy your wife. When we lived in Marlow, OK, I took a year of Spanish in my sophomore year. You had to take 2 years of Spanish for 2 credits, but you got zero credit for one year. So I got one year, then we moved to Marietta and that school did not offer Spanish, so I never got the second year. But the year I got in Marlow was most enjoyable; just me and 6 girls in the class.:laughing: And I still remember that my text book title was El Camino Real.
