I had this
post marinating in my head all week and had NO IDEA that we would spend all of
yesterday fighting flood waters! WOWSA. We had about 13 inches of rain in 48
hours, and life got a little wild around here in a fat hurry. I will tell you
more about that next week, but let’s go back to a simpler time – like two days
ago, for example – when the sun shone and the waters didn’t threaten to run
over the lake’s edge.
Last weekend was our turn to
host small group, and some of them weren’t able to make it (wedding), so it was
a small-small group. Is that a thing? We decided to do an abbreviated gathering
with pie and ice cream – and boat rides! The sunset missed the memo that we were
doing a sunset cruise, but…details.
Then, a couple of days later, we
had some friends over, and I have to tell you about them. Ryan and I met these
sweet ladies at a church event a couple of years ago, and we just loved them.
We don’t get to see them often, but I thought they might like a boat ride, so I’d
asked them early this year if they wanted to come over. We had a date on the
calendar, and it fell right in the middle of all that torrential rain that fell last
month. This week was the first time all our schedules allowed us to have the
SAME free night, so we rescheduled.
They came bearing gifts – handmade! They loved touring the house and enjoyed relaxing while Captain Ryan drove us around the lake. We loved seeing their delight!
The next day, we welcomed a busload of Swiss Village residents for the second time this summer. Most were repeat visitors and were excited to enjoy the lake on a hot and sunny day!
And in less than 48 hours, the
water level went from looking like this…
…to this.
I’ll keep you posted. 😊
