I was up and out early to the Acme supwemaeket. I got two quarts of Mr. Ron's coleslaw for the luncheon after Jack and Helen's funeral. Jack died on Sunday and his wife, Helen died Wednesday. They had both funerals together. When I got back from the Acme, I took Sparky out before the rains came. I made it back in time but had to wait until after the downpour before going to the church. We got an inch of rain but were spared the horrible winds that hit nearby areas.
It's a good thing I wore dress clothes to drop off the food and a pretty mum for Patti, Jack and Helen's granddaughter. Patti is our music director at church. I helped fold the bulletins for the service and stayed to give my condolences to the family during the visitation. It was difficult to see the family who lost two loved ones so close together.
I took out Sparky when I got home and waited for the next round of storms to come through. The were predicted to be high winds and possible tornatoes. That didn't happen; we just got rain. The ground is saturated. The sun came out making it hot and humid.

I know my husband David and I have discussed this and we both have health issues and we really don't know what we would do without each other. Of course, I know we would have to figure it out when the time comes, but, just thinking of Jack and Helen, they probably rushed through the gates of Heaven and are enjoying a nice slow dance together. This is what I hope happened to them.
Glad you haven't been hit hard with big storms. Tornadoes, straight winds and anything else nature has in store has happened in so many places in the last few years. So much death and damage. It is nearly unbelievable to imagine a family starting all over after losing everything. It was so horrible to see the devastation in OK and now seeing the pictures of the CO fires and watching those beautiful homes go up in flames is terrible. Our weather hasn't been too bad. We did have tornado warnings very near us a few nights ago, but, it passed without any damages as far as I know. I did think about Phylis because the map showed the area close to her home. Ruth
